What We Do

Bank Director Magazine

As one of the most widely read and highly respected magazines in the banking and financial services industry, Bank Director magazine focuses on the core issues fundamental to a bank’s CEO, senior leadership team, chairman and independent directors. Since 1991, we have continuously published a quarterly print version of Bank Director magazine.

Hosts BankDirector.com

A free online resource, BankDirector.com is a content-rich, digital platform. Designed around the informational needs of senior executives and members of a board, our website complements our publications and conferences by sharing valuable content on strategic and governance issues, executive and director compensation, audit committees, risk management, technology trends, insurance and legal issues and other critical topics facing today’s directors and officers.

Hosts Board-Specific Conferences

We host a variety of conferences, peer exchanges and director-training programs throughout the year designed to increase the effectiveness of directors. Our flagship conference, Acquire or Be Acquired, is widely recognized as the premier growth & strategy event for the financial services industry. Likewise, our annual Bank Audit & Risk Conference has become a can’t miss program for CFOs, CROs, general counsel, audit committee chairs and members and risk committee chairs and members. In addition, our Bank Board Training Forum was designed for a bank’s governance committee chairs and members, as well as, human resources officers. Finally, our Experience FinXTech event focuses on opportunities for institutions to grow revenue, deposits, brand, market size and market share through innovation and collaboration.
