Narmi, a leading digital banking provider for community banks and credit unions, is excited to announce the latest edition of its annual customer and prospect conference, Innovators Retreat. The retreat will be returning to La Jolla, San Diego on September 23-25 for a gathering that will feature cutting-edge industry insights, interactive group discussion, and the opportunity to connect with leaders in community banking and technology. 

Innovators Retreat will also be home to a variety of activities amid the seaside beauty of La Jolla and San Diego at large, allowing attendees to make lasting, wide-ranging connections within a tier of the banking industry essential to the health of the economy. The retreat will be convening at the landmark La Valencia Hotel, which has welcomed guests to beachside views and impeccable service in La Jolla for almost a century. 

Sessions will break down a variety of topics integral for financial institutions to build resiliency in a dynamic banking environment, including: artificial intelligence, flexible innovation, deposit growth, fraud, instant payments, and business banking – all while retaining a community focus. In addition, attendees will have the opportunity to interact with thought leaders and executives to connect on strategy and develop a shared sense of best practice in community banking. 

“One of the best parts of partnering with community financial institutions is the opportunity to speak to and learn from passionate stakeholders across the country about how we can help each other win,” said Nikhil Lakhanpal, Co-Founder of Narmi. “It was our original goal with Innovators Retreat, and we’re proud to see the conversation grow over the years to include so many influential people in our industry.”

In recent years, speakers at Innovators Retreat have included executives from data aggregation platforms Plaid and MX, fraud prevention provider Alloy, credit union core processor Corelation, AI banking relationship provider AgentIQ, financial services investment bank KBW, payments specialist Paymentus, consultancies Cornerstone Advisors and Jamestown Advisors, and the Federal Reserve.

“Resiliency is key for the thousands of community financial institutions in the U.S.,” said Chris Griffin, Co-Founder of Narmi. “In an unpredictable market, it’s more important than ever to convene a variety of leaders across our industry to share insights, advance important conversations, and crystallize a sense of fellowship in this important sector of the economy.”

Narmi encourages financial institutions to join Innovators Retreat on September 23-25. Registration is now live here.
