Content was excellent, good variety of speakers and topics. I appreciated shorter sessions- 20 minutes was perfect. A few suggestions- the rooms were very cold, rather uncomfortable most times. More tables available during breakfast and breaks- very few places to set down plates, etc, while still trying to talk. I would suggest separate rooms for the roundtable discussions as it was very difficult to hear in larger groups, especially with other groups also meeting in the same room.

Overall, three very value added days. The agenda and content was well thought out and had many engaging presenters. The best part is the community- lots of genuine and organic connections made throughout the day. People are willing to share, discuss, and exchange information- all for the greater good of innovation in the industry.

Future Branches Boston had some great sessions and speakers. I do wish they would have provided a welcome pack the first day, that would include pens, paper and some goodies to use while there.

The sessions were timely with industry presenters that are in a similar role to me at my Bank. Hearing about their successes, challenges and lessons learned are invaluable. The networking opportunities were meaningful as well. I will definitely be back in Boston next year.

Future Branches Conference in Boston was fantastic. Great speakers and sessions. The content was very valuable and pertinent to my FI’s short term and long term plans. Also, I really enjoyed networking between institutions of similar sizes. I met a lot of great individuals with similar situations.
