ICBA Virtual Conference 2021 | Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) | 4 February 2021 | Virtual Conference

It’s the ICBA Annual Conference & PRIMEtime, reimagined! Join us for our first ever ICBA Virtual Conference, an experience that brings together what you know and love about our traditional event with NEW, added benefits that are unique to a virtual environment.

For every industry, 2020 has been a year of adaptation. Without knowing what twists and turns could be ahead, it has been a challenge to figure out what the next best steps are. That’s why our 2021 theme is “Mapping Our Future: Standing at the Crossroads.” With the support of your fellow ICBA Members and ICBA Vendor Partners, we’ll work together to find the best path forward. While it might feel like your GPS is constantly stuck on “Recalculating Route,” times like these are a great opportunity for innovation and collaboration.

So mark your calendars and come prepared to map our future together!

Virtual Conference Benefits:
• A record number of Buyer Scholarships, funded by our Vendor Partners
This continues our tradition of enabling primary buyers in Apparel/Gift, Supplies, Course Materials, and Technology Products (who participate in our PRIMEtime round-robin meeting rotations) to attend
the Conference with no registration fees whatsoever.

• More opportunities for participation:
To reduce session overlaps and to accommodate four time zones, our programming is spread out over 9 days, with no more than 6 hours per day. With less concurrent programming, attendees can
participate in more sessions that ever before. We are also able to lower registration costs to enable more store associates to attend. See the “ICBA Member Store Pricing” section below.

• “On Demand” event access:
Most education sessions will be recorded so you can watch any session you missed, or replay a session.
