"I continue to be gratified by the encouragement we're receiving from every corner of the retail banking industry," says #BankSocial Founder John Siracusa. "Our list of partners represents some amazing leaders and innovators within finance. Peter Gwaltney and his team at the NCBA's support for #BankSocial is a great honor."
Social media is the pathway to great relationships between banks and their respective communities, contends Siracusa. #BankSocial offers a first-of-its-kind opportunity for leaders within banking to meet and learn from marketing experts and industry peers.
The NCBA offers a prime example of what should be the guiding purpose of every state banking organization, namely preparing and leading its members toward a prosperous future. Without a doubt, the association will have much to offer those gathered at #BankSocial. With fewer than eight weeks remaining until the conference, Siracusa encourages other prominent state banking associations to consider a partnership with #BankSocial today.
"Social media has quickly become a major channel of communication for businesses - both large and small," said Peter Gwaltney, president & CEO, North Carolina Bankers Association. "Social media is critical across all industries and it is so important that banks use social media to communicate with its customers on a daily basis. We are pleased to partner with the #BankSocial Media Conference as it brings together industry leaders in both banking and social media and provides a unique platform for bankers to merge marketing strategies with the retail banking space."
With an intriguing lineup of guest speakers and program, #BankSocial will provide participants with actionable knowledge in the realm of social media marketing's tremendous opportunities. The conference is scheduled for April 7–8 in Newark, New Jersey.
