5:00 PM Interactive Roundtables – Select a Table and Enjoy an Interactive Discussion
Roundtable discussions are a great way to get tons of insights from your banking peers. These small group discussions focus on a niche topic. There will be a host to facilitate discussion and serve as a subject expert, to ensure your questions get answered.
Table 1: Blockchain Technology And Cryptocurrencies: Is It Worth The Investment?
- Moving past the theoretical application of blockchain technologies

Table 2: Facilitating Change Management In Times Of Transition
Financial Institutions are no strangers to change. Whether it’s implementing new products/services, digitizing manual processes, converting to a new banking system or merging with another financial institution, the change must be managed. Join this discussion to share experiences from your financial institution and learn from others what has worked well as you prepare for upcoming change.
- Is there a culture of change at your financial institution and if so, what did you do to develop it?
- When approaching change management, the default is often to focus on the rational side of what happens and miss the emotional component of how people feel about the change. With that in mind, how do you prepare your staff for change? What are some things that have worked well (or not?)
- How do you prepare your customers for change? Are they receptive or resistant?
- What do you believe are the most important aspects to successfully managing change?
Hosted By: Margarita Luyre, Sr Product Manager, Digital Banking, Central 1 Credit Union;
Jessica Morettie, Sr Manager, Strategic Planning & Alignment, Central 1 Credit Union
