Fall Seminar - Logo

The most informative industry event of 2024

The Bank Holding Company Association invites you to participate in the “Marketplace of Ideas,” our Oct. 7-8 Fall Seminar for 2024, taking place at the Westin Galleria Hotel in Edina, Minn. 

Featuring some of the most informed and invested people in the community banking M&A arena, Marketplace of Ideas features more opportunities for audience interaction than ever before. Neel Kashkari, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, opens the event with candid observations on the state of community banking and dialogues with audience members on any relevant topics on your mind.

In addition to Mr. Kashkari’s comments, the Fall Seminar includes a detailed examination of current economic conditions by the always popular, very engaging Elliot Eisenberg, known as the “Bowtie” economist. Eisenberg was a crowd favorite when he addressed the BHCA in spring of 2022. 

Members of the audience will also get a chance to “ask the experts” any M&A related questions when we feature two attorneys and two accountants from the ranks of BHCA Associate Members. These four professionals will share their views from the perspective of people who are immersed in the details of community bank M&A deals. 

The Fall Seminar agenda includes comments from two bankers who will share their first-hand accounts of transactions which reshaped their banking franchises. 

There will also be counsel on alternative options for raising capital, as well as strategies shared for dealing with the current interest rate situation. And, we’ll have an information-packed session on the current tax environment. Breakout sessions will address fraud and security, FedNow, and strategies for keeping shareholders appropriately informed. 

While you may recognize some of the names on the agenda from previous events, the 2024 Fall Seminar is presenting current information in a fresh format that will intrigue and engage. Lively presentations will offer the latest information relevant to bankers who are considering a purchase or a sale, or bankers who simply want to better understand the value of their franchise.

Register before Sept. 1 to be entered into a drawing for a free registration at a future seminar. Also, contact the Westin Galleria Hotel to secure your room at the seminar venue before the Sept. 23 deadline. We have secured a special rate for BHCA seminar attendees. So don’t delay; register today!
