We welcome back our old friend, Lee Wetherington, to close this year’s Bank Tech Summit. Join Lee as he presents:
The Future De-Bunked and Bottom Lined
“Fintechs are disrupting us!” “Branches are going away!” “Gen Y hates banks more than dentists!” Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. The hype cycles distorting developments in technology and shifts in demographics can lead banks astray strategically. Falling victim to hyperbole that hardens into “conventional wisdom” can do real damage to banks navigating the future of financial services. Join Lee Wetherington for the bottom line on fintechs, mobile, Gen Y, branch transformation, blockchain, etc.-and learn how to navigate the most strategically important challenges and opportunities ahead.
