Dear Colleague,

New Orleans – “The Big Easy” – is our conference site … and there’s nothing easy about the challenges we and our business owner clients face – economic, political, organizational, social, and human.

Our conference – Mobilizing for Growth – embodies discussion of “moving forward” to address these challenges and “small business goes mobile” in three tracks:

• Access  -  Increasing and managing small business access through in-store, branch, on line, and mobile channels.   
• Acceleration – Boosting client and bank growth, including sales management, product design, and marketing
• Assets –  Financing small business growth and job growth, credit availability, credit management.  

General session presentations will address the economy and small business outlook, opportunities with Millennial business owners, perspective on regulatory evolution, additional perspective the role of branches in serving small business, growth through small business exporting and importing,  product profitability and development, and will include new names to the podium, a wide range of bank sizes and philosophies, research findings from leading consultants, and practical experience in reshaping small business to boost bank and customer productivity.

The vendor hall will feature familiar faces and new ones; and tantalizing “Big Easy”  treats!

Looking forward to seeing you at the conference,

Nick Miller
