New in 2017, the ABA Mega Conference combines seven of our annual conferences into one awesome professional development and networking event with an on-site trade show. What does this mean for you? A greater opportunity to connect with peers from across the state, a vetted group of professional speakers to bolster your banking knowledge, and a professional development event customized to meet your needs! Here’s how it works: Sign up. Register for the ABA Mega Conference at www.arkbankers.org/Mega.aspx. Attendees can sign up for one, two, or three days of the event. Learn. Indicate which job specific track(s) you will attend. Events taking place during the ABA Mega Conference include Agri Lending, Bank Executive training, Leadership, Marketing, Security, Trust, and Technology. Maybe you’re an ag lending officer with an interest in trust? Feel free to pick and choose which individual sessions you will attend. Interact. All tracks will combine for keynote and lunch sessions, which will include Little Rock native Super Bowl champion Keith Jackson, Arkansas’s own NFL Referee Walt Coleman (Hiland Diary), and an Arkansas-specific panel discussion on marijuana banking. Engage. Join your fellow bankers and guests from across the state at our multiple networking events, networking events on Monday and Tuesday evenings, and the annual ABA Trade Show (previously held in conjunction with the Annual Convention). Register and make your reservations now, because you won’t want to miss the first-ever ABA Mega Conference!
