Important Details - 2025 CBW ANNUAL CONVENTION & TRADE SHOW

September 17-19, 2025 at the Davenport Hotel

Thank you for your support of CBW and your commitment to community banking in Washington. This is a prime opportunity to reach a high number of decision makers in the community banking industry. Convention sponsors are recognized as leading supporters of community banks. I am confident that you will find great value in your investment.

AGENDA - The most up to date version can be found on our event app, available after July 1st. Download Whova from the App Store or Google Play, then search for CBW's Annual Convention & Tradeshow 2025. Only registered attendees are able to view the event app.

Attendee List - registered attendees can see the list of attendees on the event app. Download Whova to your phone or computer. From the app, log into "CBW's Annual Convention & Tradeshow 2025" using the same email you used to register for the convention.

What's Included - Your sponsorship includes all the receptions, dinners, and educational events. One of the primary reasons for attending the convention is the amount of time you can be talking with the community bankers. The trade show is a chance to show your “stuff”, but the opportunities to introduce yourself to individual bankers last the entire convention. We request that you not schedule any meeting or events that conflict with convention activities.
