The BAFT Regional Bank Conference (RBC) is the premier event designed for regional banks, by regional banks. The conference serves as a unique forum for networking, thought-provoking discussion, and collaboration among peers facing similar opportunities and challenges.
Come share your ideas, insights, and expertise in an open and candid environment with fellow bankers who understand your business and your institution’s aspirations. Together, we will explore the most pressing issues shaping the regional banking community.
While this exclusive event is limited to regional and country banks with assets of no more than USD $250 billion*, there are no geographic restrictions. The conference is open to bankers from around the world, regardless of where their institution is based.
