The Premier Gathering for Small Business Banking Leaders 2026

It is held at Swissôtel Chicago in Chicago, Illinois.

The audience includes lending, payments and treasury executives. It also includes digital, product and technology leaders. Bank and credit union practitioners are also listed.

It is most useful for heads of small business lending, payments and treasury at banks and credit unions, since the speakers include small business leaders from U.S. Bank, Citizens Bank, Live Oak Bank and Truist who can be heard comparing approaches directly. Bankers whose work is mainly consumer, wealth or commercial lending at large corporates will find less that applies, because the program is built around the small business client.

Attendees at banking conferences usually wear business professional attire, with suits or blazers, and a warm coat is sensible for Chicago in late October.
