There’s a lot competing for your time right now. Travel, budgets, staffing, it all adds up. So if you’re going to step away from the office, it needs to be worth it.
That’s exactly how we approach convention.
This is your opportunity to spend time with people who understand the same pressures you’re navigating every day. The conversations you have in the hallway, over dinner, or between sessions are often just as valuable as anything on the agenda. You hear what’s working, what’s not, and how others are adapting, and that perspective is hard to get anywhere else.
You’ll also connect with vendor partners who are invested in helping community banks succeed. These aren’t just service providers. They’re part of the broader network that supports your ability to compete and grow.
This year, we’re also taking time to recognize two important milestones: SHAZAM’s 50th anniversary and CBI’s 55th year. That kind of longevity doesn’t happen by accident. It reflects strong relationships, shared commitment, and a willingness to keep evolving alongside the industry.
We also want to recognize and thank CBI Board President Luke Brady for his leadership, service, and commitment to community banking. Luke has generously invested his time and perspective into strengthening this association, and we’re grateful for the impact he continues to make on behalf of Iowa’s independent community banks.
And that’s really what this event is about.
Not just keeping up but continuing to move forward in ways that strengthens your bank and the communities you serve.
We’re focused on making this a valuable, relevant event; one that helps you stay connected, informed, and prepared for what’s ahead.
I hope you’ll join us. Register today at cbiowa.bank.
