Celent’s Innovation and Insight Day is about a month away, and I couldn’t be more excited. We have great external speakers bookending the day, and we’ll be exploring exciting technology implementations with 18 Model Banks in five categories (plus Celent’s Model Bank of the Year):
- Digital
- Omnichannel
- Legacy and Ecosystem Transformation
- Innovation and Emerging Technologies
- Payments
Our first speakers, Betsy Hubbard and Debra Jasper, are from
Mindset Digital, an online social media training firm. As financial firms grapple with their approaches to social media, Betsy and Debra’s perspective, delivered in a completely different style than what most banks are used to, will provide ample food for thought and some concrete next steps. Suresh Ramamurthi, Chairman (and CTO!) of
CBW Bank, will tell the story of how a fintech entrepreneur bought a small ($13 million in assets, 7 employees) bank in Kansas and is in the process of turning it into a bank of the future. You may have seen the bank profiled in this
story in the New York Times. Registrations are running well ahead of last year, and our Carnegie Hall venue may well get to Standing Room Only (although you won’t be able to buy tickets at TKTS on Monday morning). We hope to see you there on March 23rd; to learn more and to register, please visit our
I&I day site.
