While a tradition of quality speakers

such as Gen. Tommy Franks (USA-Ret) and basketball legend David Robinson make TBA's Annual Convention a first-class event, a variety of social activities provide a much-appreciated opportunity for bankers to network.

According to last year's "Touch Screen" survey, nearly a quarter of convention attendees cited networking opportunities as their primary reason for attending the Convention. Networking opportunities ranked above the location of the Convention, keynote speaker, Exhibit Hall and overall education program by bankers taking this survey.

Because of the importance given to networking, this year's Convention features a variety of opportunities for bankers to mix and mingle with other bankers. These include receptions in the Exhibit Hall, a golf tournament and two spouse tours. Major social events include Party with PULSE, live and silent auctions and a reception benefiting BankPac and the gala Chairman's Dinner featuring The Pink Flamingos.
