Running a bank has never been more challenging, and you need all the insight, experience, and ideas you can get. In an age of information saturation when bankers can turn to any number of sources for problem solving, the peer connections and in-depth discussions from these roundtables are powerful tools for Illinois’ top bank executives. 

This forum provides a facilitated, open medium where ideas, experience, insight, and views on many banking and business-related matters can be exchanged with your peers.
