Like many business sectors, the financial services industry has experienced significant change and performance pressures over the past 12 months. However, one constant has emerged — companies that have thrived despite the challenging economic conditions have done so as a result of effective leadership and clear strategic vision. Strong leadership is critical to success, and as such, BAI has built its Retail Delivery Conference & Expo 2002 around the theme of effective leadership in financial services, presenting information and new ideas on how the best lead to success. BAI’s Retail Delivery Conference & Expo 2002 will take place November 5-7, 2002 at the Georgia World Conference Center in Atlanta.
The agenda features business and financial services industry leaders, covering timely, critical issues in more than 45 sessions and workshops. Keynote speakers include Kenneth Lewis, CEO, Bank of America, Jack Welch, former Chairman & CEO, General Electric Corp., former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, and Sir George Mathewson, Chairman, The Royal Bank of Scotland Group.
“We are very fortunate to have recruited some of the best business minds for this year’s Retail Delivery,” said BAI President and CEO Thomas P. Johnson, Jr. “Financial services executives who attend BAI’s Retail Delivery Conference will become more effective organizational leaders by hearing the insights of these business and industry leaders, by personally experiencing the latest business applications in the exhibit hall and by networking with peers on-site.”
Sessions at BAI’s Retail Delivery Conference & Expo 2002 include:
— Improving performance in newly “rediscovered” branch networks
— Straight talk about enhancing the return on the industry’s investments in Customer Relationship Management (CRM) technology
— Homeland security efforts in financial services, and its effects on customer privacy issues and anti-money laundering efforts
— New industry initiatives to reach “under-banked” consumers
— Customer-centered delivery management techniques;
More than 300 solutions providers will present retail-banking products and services as part of the conference expo. The exhibit hall, the largest in the industry, showcases new technologies and business solutions that can drive growth and improve profitability in financial services organizations.
BAI acknowledges Fincentric Corporation, Cap Gemini Ernst & Young, and Willey Brothers as the conference’s premier sponsors. Their involvement helps to reinforce BAI’s Retail Delivery Conference as a leading source of information on retail financial services strategy and technology.
