Inspired By Acquire Or Be Acquired: What Officers & Directors Need To Know Now 2021 | Bank Director | 4 February 2021 | Online

Board-Level Intelligence Package

Inspired by our Acquire or Be Acquired Conference, this exclusive digital content aggregates current topics, trends, statistics and market insight on a new BankDirector.com platform. By surfacing financial, technology and industry trends, we help the senior-most leaders within the banking industry use their time wisely to get current on a host of issues and relevant ideas. Bank Director has designed this as a comprehensive playbook for leadership teams to rely on beginning in February 2021.

Strategic Planning & Board Sessions

Unlike a digital conference, this board-level intelligence package does not require daily log-ins or excessive time in front of a computer monitor. By aggregating the type of leadership issues one would find at a conference like Acquire or Be Acquired into short-form segments, we clearly (and concisely) bring the best of the professional services world to life, allowing you and your board team to plan for the road ahead. At a high level, the information provided addresses complex challenges facing officers and directors. Some segments reflect conversations designed to take place in the board room; while others reflect real-time data business leaders might base short-term performance goals off of.
