The Combined Retail & Small Business + Trust & Investment Conference features valuable insights on emerging issues and challenges facing retail and trust professionals in New York today. Attendees will continue their exploration of the wealth continuum, which touches every aspect of the bank throughout the customer’s lifelong financial journey. More than 100 attendees from all levels within financial institutions across New York State attend this annual conference to network with colleagues, share ideas, find solutions,  and learn about what’s new in the industry. They also hear from CEOs discussing topics from career advancement to community involvement.

We are excited to announce our Opening Keynote Speaker

Our opening keynote will be presented by Liz High, co-author of the forthcoming book, "Think Like a Brand, Not a Bank: 5 Practical Strategies to Unlock Innovation, Connect with Customers and Grow."  Backed by extensive data and successful outcomes, Liz will present the research-based principles that employees at every level of a bank can utilize to better connect with customers and grow.




Here's what Liz has to say about brand power:

… to be relevant today and ensure growth tomorrow, financial institutions should take a cue from consumer brands. It's time to connect with customers and create meaningful experiences. With data rich insight and real-life examples, Think like a Brand, Not a Bank is a compelling look at how financial institutions can build value now and create a roadmap for the future.” – Liz High

NYBA’s Combined Retail & Small Business + Trust & Investment Conference provides a unique networking and knowledge development opportunity for New York’s banking professionals. In 2021, NYBA brought together Retail and Small Business bankers with their Trust and Investment colleagues for a conference experience that prioritized teambuilding and collaboration. After reviewing attendees’ evaluations from 2021, it was clear that this was an experience that was eye-opening for those who attended.
