Day 2 of ALM First Financial Forum offers in-depth discussions of timely topics

The second day of ALM First’s Financial Forum featured two different tracks developed for financial executive and board member audiences.

The executive track kicked off with a discussion of profitability in 2020 and beyond, then focused on leverage strategies, loan participations and capital planning in a series of in-depth sessions led by ALM First’s team of expert speakers.

Board members learned about the latest trends in financial services, then discussed ways to find and secure the future of their institutions in a world of change. The board track wrapped up with interactive discussions on funding strategies and enterprise risk management.

The Financial Forum, hosted by ALM First, is the premier event for financial executives to discover insights, formulate strategies, and gain new perspectives about the coming year.
