FDIC Banker Outreach 2026

The event takes place at DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Austin, University Area, in Austin, Texas.

The stated audience includes directors, risk management staff and consumer compliance staff.

Bank directors, risk managers and consumer compliance staff at Texas institutions get the most from it, since the sessions are aimed at those roles and the FDIC itself joins the Texas Bankers Association and the Independent Bankers Association of Texas to brief attendees on regulatory matters. Its value is regulator access and take-home reference materials rather than vendor contact or peer-led deep dives, so senior lenders or executives outside compliance and oversight roles, and banks outside Texas, will gain less.

Attendees at bank regulatory outreach sessions usually wear business professional or business casual, with suits or blazers common among directors and slacks and collared shirts among compliance staff.
