Another great opportunity to learn more about AI and why it matters!

Most bankers know AI matters but aren’t sure where it safely fits. That is what this session is about.

On Aug. 4 at 1 PM ET, Kyle Davis, an expert in how tech is used for financial institutions, and Dave Cieslak, our Chief Data Scientist, share practical ways to put AI to work for loan, deposit, and relationship growth. 45 minutes, no sales pitch, and you get the recording. It’s the first of three (Aug. 4, Sept. 8, Oct. 6).
