Spring Seminar is a ‘Time to Soar’

While economic headwinds may slow competitors, they may provide the updraft that allow community banks to soar throughout 2023. The annual Spring Seminar of the Bank Holding Company Association is themed “Time to Soar,” and we will provide the information and inspirational sessions to give you the lift you need.

Commoditized products and impersonal service are a recipe for drudgery; banks that offer the individualized attention and thoughtful products that community banks are known for have a distinct competitive advantage. The BHCA Spring Seminar will deliver education and networking designed to provide a bird’s eye view of the opportunities and possibilities that await innovative, diligent and entrepreneurial community bankers.

The Spring Seminar, scheduled for Monday and Tuesday, May 1-2, 2023 at the Westin Hotel at the Galleria in Edina, Minn., features panel session leaders who will guide bankers through information-sharing on topics such as Banking as a Service and intriguing ideas for unique business lines. Brian Love, a banking industry consultant with Travillian, leads a discussion on BaaS and what it means for you, while Blake Crow of Eide Bailly introduces the group to bankers who have a different approach to income generation.

Time to Soar promises to be one of the best BHCA Spring Seminars in memory. Plan to bring along board colleagues and other members of your senior management team. Representatives from many of the leading firms that serve the community banking industry will be in attendance and they are interested in visiting with you. Make the most of the opportunity to network with the experts, and with fellow bankers. And you are encouraged to invite some of your own rising stars to join you for the Monday luncheon. It is a great way to introduce them to new networking peers. Furthermore, be sure to bring your spouse! While you are attending sessions, they can visit any number of nearby commercial attractions. This BHCA Spring Seminar truly offers something for everyone!

A Look to the Future

The Spring Seminar opens on May 1 with a special “Hats Off to the Future” luncheon where we will honor outstanding mid-career bankers, nominated by bankers across the Upper Midwest. Sponsored by BankBeat magazine and BankBeat.biz, we will introduce you to bankers who are making a difference, representing true industry rising stars.

Even if you have never been to a BHCA event before, you are urged to consider joining us for this inspiring luncheon. The highlight of the mid-day celebration will be comments from Rachel Evangelisto, the reigning Miss Minnesota, who will draw on her Native American heritage to share insights on culture and diversity.

We are offering a luncheon-only rate that makes it very reasonable to solely attend the luncheon. But, if you like, enjoy the lunch and stay for the entire day. We have a special Monday-only registration rate that includes all of Monday’s events. Whether you are a BHCA member or not, you will find exceptional value in the one-day registration option.

Dinner and a Show
