Managing your bank's technology these days is akin to surviving a game of strategy. Situational awareness and sound decision-making are critical. Organization and execution are imperative.

In this session, Eric will share strategies and provide a hands-on tour of a mobile messaging system so that you can understand what's possible and how a mobile strategy may be something to add to your list for 2013 (or sooner)!

iPads in the Boardroom
Scott Mallery, Regional Vice President-East, BOARDVantage (www.boardvantage.com)
A few short years after its introduction, the iPad has made the paperless boardroom a reality. With its unique strength in graphics and animation it is well-suited to present large volumes of information in an intuitive manner. Not that technology is a stranger in the boardroom-it's been there for years. The shift from browser to iPad is significant because that new platform triggered an even greater shift-the transition from paper to paperless. This session will present successful examples of implementations and the potential impact of the paperless Boardroom.

Best-of-breed or totally integrated one-stop shop? When is it time to evaluate a new core provider? How does the core provider support a bank's mobile strategies? How are these providers helping banks retain the payments franchise? Get answers to these tough questions and more.

8:30 AM - 9:30 AM
Does Your Tech Connect?  How to Properly Support Relationship Development with Your Front Line Staff and Customers
Mark Faircloth, Partner, Faircloth Performance Partners (www.faircloth-partners.com)
In his work including consumer/small business mystery shops, discussions with institution executives and training workshops with front line managers and staff, it has become clear to Mark that most banks have two major technology-performance gaps: (1) A disconnect between strategic data and usable front line information and tools; and (2) A misunderstanding of how to use information and delivery channel options to proactively build deeper, more profitable relationships with key customers. In Mark's session, learn how to connect strategic content to usable information; integrate delivery channels; and change the role of front line employees and managers. Get the formula for success and learn key actions to take today.

The recovery from the 2007 Recession is now into its third year. The Fed has lowered interest rates to approximately 0%, engaged in an aggressive strategy of twisting the yield curve in an effort to assist the beleaguered housing sector, and engineered two massive bond buying programs in an effort to stimulate economic growth.
