CBAI Annual Convention & Expo

About CBAI Annual Convention & Expo

"We're Putting the Band Back Together!” and heading to Chicago for CBAI's 47th Annual Convention. 2020 is behind us and we are ready to live, breathe and jump again! Community bankers are the backbone, the nerve center of a great band - so, let's reunite in Chicago and put the band back together!

Numerous iconic 80's movies were filmed in Chicago, but what is more iconic than "The Blues Brothers?" While community bankers may not go on car chases or sing from behind chicken wire like Jake and Elwood did to support their charity, community bankers stop at nothing to take care of their communities and customers. Whether it is providing a home loan, stepping up with a sponsorship, helping someone save for college, or run their own business, community bankers make it their mission to see their customers successful and happy.

CBAI needs you because "We're Putting the Band Back Together!” in 2021. So, grab your fedora, fill up your gas tank & head to Chicago. You don't want to miss CBAI's 47th Annual Convention & Expo, September 23-25, 2021.
