CBAI Convention & Expo

Magic is not just Harry Potter, white rabbits, or abracadabra. Magic is also something that is special and exciting; something that leaves you awestruck. At CBAI, we are awestruck at the affect we see our bank members have on their customers and their communities.

Community banks create a magic spark in the lives that they touch. It happens every time your bank helps someone realize a dream. Maybe it's owning a home, starting their own business, or going to college. It's the spark that happens when a community bank pitches in to help someone in need, raises money for a worthy cause, or sponsors a sports team for local kids. Without magic wands, spell books, or potions, community bankers have been known to pull a few rabbits out of their hats for people they serve.

CBAI would like to celebrate this with our 2018 convention, “Hocus Pocus: The Magic of Community Banking.” We look forward to seeing all of you at the 44th Annual Convention & Expo in St. Louis. Join us for a magical time in a great city!
