The agenda will include a golf outing, cocktail reception, and dinner on Sunday evening and a full day of informative presentations, followed by a dinner on Monday. As in the past, presentations on Monday will be comprised primarily of panel discussions with industry experts on today’s most relevant topics.
On Tuesday, we will host one-on-one meetings for the attending banks with institutional investors. The format will be similar to the experience you’ve likely had at other investor-oriented conferences, though we believe that our focus on small cap banks will differentiate our event from others. We’ll also look to pair up banks with prospective investors that we believe could be a good potential match, and we’ll allow sufficient time for each meeting, as opposed to the “speed dating” ritual that seems to be more the norm at industry conference events in recent years.
