National Bankers Association's Conference 2026

The conference takes place at the Four Seasons Hotel in Washington, DC.

Early bird pricing through September 30, 2026 is $525 for NBA members and sponsors, $550 for strategic partners, and $700 for non-members.

The conference brings together MDI CEOs and senior leaders, policymakers, and industry partners.

Under the theme 'Advancing Growth. Accelerating Evolution.', the conference explores strategies, technologies, and policy developments helping mission-driven banks expand their impact and strengthen the communities they serve.

Speakers include Richard Ditizio (Milken Institute CEO), Todd McDonald (Liberty Bank & Trust President and NBA Chairman), French Hill (US House Financial Services Committee Chairman), Michael Hsu (former Acting Comptroller), and others from fintech, compliance, and community banking.

Business attire is standard for banking and financial services conferences. The organizer does not publish a specific dress code, but most attendees wear business casual to business formal.

The conference is valuable if you lead or work at a mission-driven bank, engage in banking policy, or provide fintech or compliance solutions to this sector. The presence of senior MDI leadership, federal regulators, and industry partners creates direct access to decision-makers and partnership opportunities.

The Four Seasons Hotel is Washington's only Five-Star-Diamond luxury property, set in historic Georgetown near iconic landmarks including the White House and major museums. It offers upscale meeting facilities.

Mission-driven banks prioritize community development and social impact alongside profitability. Many are minority depository institutions focused on underserved markets and work to strengthen the financial health and economic opportunity of the communities they serve.
