Chicago. Crisp October.
12th Annual Small Business Banking Conference.
Putting the Pieces Together.

Banks are a puzzle to small business owners--departments are sharing data but rarely insight, brilliant in transactions yet narrow in relationships.

We want ONE, not many. We want to go to bank branches, describe our challenges, and have THOSE people pull the pieces together for us -- business, personal, borrowing, cash managing. One person, not six.  We want business bankers who can think ahead, awaken us to opportunities to improve our financial strength, and pull all the pieces together for us. We want products and support that fit into our business rhythms rather than forcing us to fit into yours.

Why is it so difficult?  What's next?

We will shed October light on the subject -- alignment, point of sale integration, seamless client experience for small business banking.

This year's Small business banking agenda includes topics in the following areas:

• Products and centers of expertise
• Channels
• Sales, On-Boarding, and Service
• Regulatory Compliance
• Operations and technology

Not only that, the just-steps-away Miracle Mile looks spectacular in full-fall October, Chicago's brawney restaurants beckon, and the conference will be filled with friends eager to share stories and learn.  What's not to like?

Put yourself together. Put your plans together. Join us in October for Putting the Pieces Together at the 12th Annual Small Business Banking Conference.

Best regards,

Nick Miller
President, Clarity Advantage
Conference Chairman
