Conference & Vendor Showcase Highlights

The Vendor Showcase is a key highlight, known for its exciting prize drawings! To encourage engagement, bank attendees must visit at least 70% of all vendors and get their cards stamped to qualify for prize drawings. We find this approach effectively connects attendees with vendors they might not typically consider, helping them discover valuable products and services.
