A Full Slate of Spring Events
For You - Our Members

This April, May and June, NJBankers is bringing you new and returning events for all levels and sectors of the banking industry and business community.  

We're starting with our 119th Annual Conference, which kicks off next week in Nashville. This is followed by our popular Mid-Career Conference on April 24, which is designed to help elevate the careers of experienced mid-level professionals so they can continue to thrive as leaders. 

In May, our DEI Summit returns on the 1st, with a focus on fostering belonging during times of transition. We're also hosting a new Cannabis Banking Conference on May 8, which explores the challenges and opportunities presented to our industry by the cannabis space, and our annual Regulatory Visit to D.C. from May 12-13, in which bankers have the opportunity to have their voice heard by federal regulators.  

June brings even more opportunities with our revamped Banking on Women Conference on June 4 - this year featuring Moira Forbes, EVP of Forbes and President and Publisher of ForbesWomen. Plus, later in the month we'll bring you our Marketing Conference, Bankers Cup Golf Outing, and more!
