Content Overview
Board-Level Intelligence Package
Inspired by our Acquire or Be Acquired Conference, this exclusive digital content aggregates current topics, trends, statistics and market insight on a new BankDirector.com platform. By surfacing financial, technology and industry trends, we help the senior-most leaders within the banking industry use their time wisely to get current on a host of issues and relevant ideas. Bank Director has designed this as a comprehensive playbook for leadership teams to rely on beginning in February 2021.
Strategic Planning & Board Sessions
Unlike a digital conference, this board-level intelligence package does not require daily log-ins or excessive time in front of a computer monitor. By aggregating the type of leadership issues one would find at a conference like Acquire or Be Acquired into short-form segments, we clearly (and concisely) bring the best of the professional services world to life, allowing you and your board team to plan for the road ahead. At a high level, the information provided addresses complex challenges facing officers and directors. Some segments reflect conversations designed to take place in the board room; while others reflect real-time data business leaders might base short-term performance goals off of.
Timely, Relevant Content
The exclusive intelligence package is made available on Thursday, February 4 – Friday, February 19, 2021. Each presentation includes a 20-30 minute video and provides supporting information which includes written content, in the form of white papers, articles and/or research reports. In addition, registered users can engage directly with their constituents through peer-to-peer messaging. For those interested in arranging meetings to speak directly with industry experts, we provide a simple and secure messaging application within BankDirector.com.

During Inspired By Acquire or Be Acquired, Bank Director brings together various industry leaders for live-sessions, allowing participants to engage directly with the presenters. Be sure to mark your calendar for the below dates and times! All live presentations will be recorded and available after the session has concluded.

How Best To Deal With 2021 Credit Uncertainties
David Ruffin, Principal, IntelliCredit, A Division of QwickRate
After 2020’s pandemic-induced uncertainties about our bank’s credit quality, 2021 will require bankers to take proactive steps to both quantify and manage the credit after-shocks of COVID-19, including identifying hotspots in variously impacted subsets of our portfolios. In other words, writing our own risk profile script – before the regulator, or peer, does it for us!
Wednesday, February 10 | 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM EDT
M&A in the Aftermath of COVID
Justin Evans, Senior Vice President, Stephens, Inc.
Ted Rosinus, Managing Director, Stephens, Inc.
Frank Sorrentino, Managing Director, Stephens, Inc.
Scott Studwell, Managing Director and Head of Depository Group, Stephens, Inc.
M&A in the aftermath of COVID-19 should, and will, be different. While the near-term interest rate environment will produce environmental pressures, COVID has likely led to systemic changes to bank M&A. Have tangible book value earn-back thresholds changed? Should baseline cost savings be different? How should you think about credit marks? Do MOEs make more, or less, sense? What role should technology play in assessing your target market? Are core deposits more important in a post COVID world? This presentation explores these topics, and more.
Join Your Peers – Virtual Peer Exchanges!
In addition to the timely presentations, Bank Director is hosting two opportunities for you to engage with your peers during Virtual Peer Exchanges. Both of these sessions are off-the-record, small group discussions among your peers. Each of the below peer exchanges are included in your registration – however you must indicate your participation when completing your registration. Space is limited, and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note: in order to participate in the peer exchanges registration must be completed by Monday, February 8, 2021.
