Tech Talk South: Innovation in Action!

What a great day in Tifton, diving into AI, brand impersonation, fintech integration, and innovation in community banking!

• Banker Innovation Panel                                                                                                                                                                              Dawn Bridges, First National Bank of Coffee County; Jim Jowers, PrimeSouth Bank and Greg Judy, South Georgia Banking Company

One attendee shared “The presenters shared valuable solutions that could benefit everyone, but the most impactful part of the program was the group discussions. Connecting with fellow bankers, exchanging experiences, and learning how they adapted, improved, or implemented new solutions made for an insightful and practical learning experience.”

Thank you to the sponsors: ICBA, Finastra, IBT Apps, Integris and Genesys Technology Group.

John McNair, CBA President & CEO, shared, “These small group technology programs offered by CBA of Georgia in conjunction with ICBA maximize learning and networking. Our Tech Talk North is scheduled for Atlanta November 6. We intentionally keep the group size small; therefore, I suggest registering sooner rather than later.”
