| 8:45 AM - 9:30 AM | Community Banks are in Position A for 2025 - Jim Reber, ICBA Securities After the longest-on-record pause between the last interest rate hike and the first cut, community banks had ample time to prepare for a secular falling rate environment, which the Fed projects will be lasting for two years. With credit quality still holding in very well, this could be a market that bodes well for community bank profitability and performance. We will look at some important metrics of industry health and identify some relative strengths and weaknesses. |
| August 12 | |
| 8:00 AM - 8:45 AM | Creating Value in an M&A Environment - Philip Smith, Gerrish Smith Tuck Financial institutions want to create value for their stakeholders. For some that means buying other banks, for others it may be considering a transaction, but for most it’s about staying independent and creating value every day. We’ll discuss the M&A environment and how to position your bank to create value without being a buyer or a seller. We’ll look at how the consolidation that is occurring impacts the broader strategies for financial institutions. |
