A great conference! Loved the short session format!! We found the conference very beneficial with many takeaways. Would have liked to hear more about online scheduling, social media usage and other Fintechs the bankers may be utilizing. Thank you for putting on the event. Hope it becomes an annual conference in Boston!

I found the speakers to be very good and the timeframe that each spoke just enough. Breakout sessions were really good. Food and expo was also good. I'd like to see the deck sent out to attendees on all of the topics that were presented.

Future Branches Boston featured great content with engaging speakers and panels covering relevant topics.

Overall there was good content; however, the couch sessions were a bit too much. I found most of it irrelevant and at best redundant from speaker to speaker, outside of the Columbia Bank presentation as they were very enthusiastic and didn't even sit on the couch. Also, some of the sessions were sales pitches even though they were somewhat masked. It would have been great to have more inspirational speakers to break up the monotony of the couch sessions as sitting for long periods of time without excitement was difficult. There were not a lot of options for water; one of the fountains didn't work for the first day. I found it interesting that on the last day for lunch there was bottled water but not any throughout the conference. I found the breakout sessions where we met with the vendors was worthwhile, we just needed to have more space between the tables as it was difficult to hear at times. The speed networking was also great except we were too close together and hard to hear.
