Mobile banking, remote deposit and even mobile wallets are terms that have actually become a reality along with devices like square and many others that rely on a virtual experience. With a sold-out trade show, attendees experienced many opportunities to explore top vendors and new technology. Day one began amid seven concurrent sessions to select from that were broken into two time slots. Eric Cook, WSI Internet Consulting, presented on social media over two segments, one in each time slot. He held one session on the need for a risk assessment to include the appropriate steps one should take when measuring for the as- sessment. His second session focused on social media marketing and how to meet your customers online including a responsive web design. John Leek, NetStandard Inc, led a discussion on virtualiza- tion and storage issues that led the group through the simplicity of data migration, disaster recovery and various choices available for storage among other things. Chad Knutson, Secure Banking Solutions, presented the risks vs. rewards of cloud computing to store data including the guidelines provided by regulators. Ed McMurray, CoNetrix, gave a talk titled “Data Leakage,” which is essentially the loss of data to an unintended or unauthorized source. He addressed concerns with internal loss through mobile devices as well as external breaches and walked the group through many methods of data loss prevention and controls to implement. The group had a tremendous opportunity to hear Lee Wetherington, ProfitStars, in two different concurrent sessions. The first was titled “Three Things You Don’t Know: Why They Matter and What to Do Next.” Lee spoke about the startling amount of data that has been created in the last two years, the desire of people to have instant information and the fatigue that results from too many choices. His second break-out session was titled “Replacing Lost Fee Income.” He demonstrated how community banks haven’t lost the percentage of income that the big banks have and there is still opportunity for community banks to take care of customers and manage fee income under current trends and rules. There was a second set of concurrent sessions on day two that included an IT regulatory panel discussion. Bonnie Miller, OCC; David Orr, FDIC; Steven Armstrong, Federal Reserve Bank; and John Gibbons, OSBC, were led in a discussion by moderator Dr. Bruce Morgan, Professional Bank Consultants, LLC.
