Session descriptions

Session 1: Industry overview

How to “future ready” your organization in a rapidly changing industry. You’re hearing customers talking about crypto, you either already are or are considering partnering with technology companies to remain relevant and competitive, and you are seeking to enhance how you interact with your customers and how they interact with you. What are best practices; what are others doing; and what should you start, stop or continue doing? Join us for table discussions on crypto, partnering with xxtech to enhance delivery (internal/external) and improving your customer journey.

Session 2: Staying ahead of the curve with data analytics

As financial services organizations increase in size, whether organically or as a result of M&A, you find that the data required to operate becomes more critical and elusive. You also see an increase in regulatory scrutiny, which leads to reporting requirements that are far more complex than historically needed. Using data management and analytics solutions, financial services organizations can stay ahead of the performance curve. By appropriately structuring your data, you can provide for the automation of manual processes and give your entire organization access to the data that they need to run their part of the business. Join us to learn how leading financial services organizations are leveraging their data to improve performance, reduce risk and efficiently meet the regulatory and economic demands of the climate.

Session 3: Cybersecurity hot topics

Technology has changed how you run your business and service your customers. As a result, many organizations face new threats against data breaches, extortion and system interruption. This session will help you understand the most common cyber threats facing the financial services sector. We will also discuss how cyberattacks between Russia and Ukraine could threaten U.S. critical infrastructure.

Session 4: Keynote — Economic and Market Outlook

This keynote will share observations on economic and market conditions with a view to prospects over the next 3-5 years; examine economic trends and Federal Reserve policies critical to stock and bond markets; and pay careful attention to cyclical risks and opportunities. It will define asset allocation implications clearly, as well as provide tips on important indicators that minimize risk and enhance returns. You’ll learn topical and updated to remain fresh and relevant.

Session 5: Total rewards and its direct link to improving employee experience and business outcomes

Formerly referred to as compensation and benefits, total rewards take on a more creative and broad definition of the ways organizations attract and retain high caliber talent through the lens of compensation, benefits, perks and other rewards. Compensation is just one of many factors that make your company an appealing place to work. Employee benefits, workplace culture and other nonmonetary rewards play significant roles as to whether you are putting your best foot forward to attract and retain employees who are loyal to you and what you stand for as an organization. The “war for talent” is something that can be easily won by those organizations who are willing to meet the needs of their people, which in turn will allow those people to meet the business needs of the organization, as set forth by executive leadership. This session will dive into the evolution of employee experience and what people crave from their employers in order to be the most productive and engaged versions of themselves. It will also provide attendees with helpful tips, advice and insights to bring back to their organization in order to attract and retain best-in-class employees who can meet the needs of the business.
