Two forces are reshaping community and regional banking—one you can see on the balance sheet, one you feel in the leadership pipeline. This interactive three-hour session takes on both.

We begin with a practical briefing on digital currency and payments: where stablecoins, the GENIUS Act, and the broader payments landscape are genuinely moving, and what belongs on your radar now versus what’s still noise. Clear, grounded, and built for decision-makers—not headlines.

From there, we turn to the question most CEOs name as the one keeping them up at night: talent. The premise is direct—the talent that got you here won’t carry your strategy five and ten years out. Together we’ll work through what your next generation of leadership needs to look like, how you’re developing them today, and whether your succession plan is ready. The bank leaders of 2030 and 2035 will look very different from the ones in the room now, and most institutions aren’t yet building for that gap.
