Designing Your Organization Around Customer Experience
As your organization embarks upon or continues to make a digital transformation, the time is ripe to make an organizational transformation as well. To do this successfully, one must change culturally, taking on a digital and customer-centric mindset. When the customer and their experience is at the center of your organization, all the decisions and strategies can flow from there.
Panelists:
• Don Elliott | VP, Customer Experience | First National Bank of Omaha
• Brianna Elsass | Head of US Digital Channels | BMO Financial Group

Using AI and Chatbots to Help Customers Without Alienating Them
The banking industry is increasingly turning to AI and chatbots to ease some of the burden on call center and in-branch customer service staff while providing a more targeted and focused experience that can address the specific needs of each customer. In order to accomplish this, customers must feel comfortable with losing some of their digital privacy and we explore the trade-off.
Panelists:
• Joli Hensley | Digital Channel Manager | Advia Credit Union

Best-in-Class Mobile Banking
As major banks increasingly move from branch-based banking to online and mobile apps, we’re starting to see some separation between true innovators and FIs that may get left behind. A number of FIs are thinking out of the box and become the leading edge of forging a new standard in digital banking.

From Fintech to Big Tech: Learning From and Partnering With Banking Disruptors
The banking industry is facing a new set of challengers from established Silicon Valley firms entering the banking space, to fintech startups launching mobile banking and investment apps. A growing number of financial institutions are now forming alliances with technology companies to capture part of a growing market that would otherwise bypass traditional banking services.
Panelists:
• Donna Embry | SVP, Global Payments Strategy | Evolve Bank & Trust
1:00 pm | Breakout Session
Branch of the Future: Trends in Branch Design
In recent years, the physical branch has been a hot topic of discussion in the financial services industry. Some FIs have created “branch of the future” concepts, focusing on high-tech and high-touch. Others have opened branches in non-traditional locations while closing some traditional branches in an effort to “right size.” This panel will discuss the branch and ATM physical network strategy in light of the way customers bank today. We’ll also ask: will COVID-19 have a lasting effect on branch design?
Panelists:
• Stephen Griffin | Senior Vice President, Retail Branch Distribution Strategy & Sales, Staffing Analytics | Regions Bank
