Dear Colleague:

WE’RE CHANGING IT UP! IBAT FinTech Showcase is the new name for IBAT’s technology conference formerly known as TechMecca.

If you’ve participated in TechMecca over the last several years, you’ve been on the forefront of an evolving event.

Four years ago, TechMecca was the first IBAT event to introduce seven-minute stage demonstrations as an opportunity for exhibiting companies to better acquaint the audience with one of their new products or services.

“Vendors and bankers alike responded to the stage demonstrations positively,” said IBAT President and CEO Chris Williston. “The vendors like the focused opportunity to tell the story of their companies’ innovation and bankers very much like the opportunity to get more information on a company before committing to a one-on-one conversation with months of potential follow-up from a booth visit.”

This feedback from bankers underscores what IBAT has been hearing over the last several years: when bankers take time to be out of the bank, they’re looking for the most bang for their buck.

You all asked, and we’re delivering. We’re limiting the demonstration companies to 40 for the event. You no longer need to be concerned about walking the expo hall. IBAT FinTech Showcase is designed for bankers ready to assist forward-thinking customers and shareholders alike who are committed to maintaining an edge on the issues, products and services confronting our industry.

Optimize the value of your technology investments by staying current on emerging technologies and trends. Ample time is given to explore up to 40 leading industry suppliers showcasing practical technology services and solutions to guide you into the future. Register for IBAT FinTech Showcase online at http://membership.ibat.org/web/FinTechShowcase!

We look forward to seeing you in Fort Worth, April 12-13, 2017.

Christopher L. Williston, CAE President & CEO Independent Bankers Association of Texas
