WHO WILL BE ATTENDING?
Director, Balance Sheet Management
CONVINCE YOUR BOSS
Because It’s in New York City probably isn’t enough. What your boss might ask...
“What exactly do we get for the ticket price?”
Quite a bit. Two days of expertly curated content led by Treasury, ALM, liquidity, and risk management professionals, tackling macroeconomic shifts, regulatory change, interest rate risk, and the evolving challenges shaping balance sheet management in U.S. banks. That includes keynote sessions, roundtables, fireside chats, and some of the sharpest peer-to-peer conversations heard this year - all wrapped in structured networking breaks and a drinks reception. Oh, and there’s a Post-Event Toolkit packed with slides, interviews, and exclusive resources, plus CeFPro Connect access for ongoing insights. In short: tangible ROI and some very useful PDFs.
“What happens when you’re out of the office for two days?”
I’ll be reachable - there’s Wi-Fi, breaks, and plenty of places to go if I need some privacy for a call. But more importantly, me stepping away for 48 hours means stepping back with sharper ideas, a stronger network, and actionable knowledge that feeds directly into our risk strategy. Call it time well invested.
“How does this benefit the team?”
Whether you come solo or as a squad (there are group discounts), your whole team benefits. I’ll return armed with frameworks, strategies, and a toolkit that’s built for sharing. It’s professional development that pays off company-wide.
“Will you actually learn anything useful?”
Not just useful - usable. The agenda is built on months of research with risk leaders at the top of their game to reflect real-time challenges and regulatory changes. I’ll walk away with practical strategies to strengthen liquidity and capital management, refine stress testing and deposit modeling practices, and navigate regulatory and market uncertainty.
And yes, I’ll hear it directly from those walking the walk: treasurers, policy advisors, and senior banking executives who’ve been there, done that, and got the postcard.
“How will you share what you learned?”
Expect notes, highlights, and a recap of key takeaways tailored to our priorities. I’ll prep a short debrief or slides (your pick), and I’ll share access to all post-event materials so the whole team can benefit. Consider it one ticket, multiple brains upgraded.
