    FAQs and Overview

    Community Banker University’s seminars, institutes, conferences, and workshops will offer the same blend of learning, connection, and fun that you would expect from any in-person ICBA event.

    We will use the same instructors, breakout sessions, plus a chat feature, polling questions, and virtual networking to ensure you feel connected and engaged throughout the event. Participants will receive event materials electronically via their icba.org account

    With so many unknowns affecting travel and potentially the health and safety of participants we decided to take all live in person scheduled events to 100% virtual events so that we could fully focus our energies on creating optimal experiences for participants.

    No, these sessions will not be recorded for distribution.

    Unfortunately, no. The registration is designed for the individual attendee. However, with no travel expenses, it is more economical and convenient than ever for banks to register more than one employee.

    ICBA will take attendance each day at all of the virtual sessions. We are able to see when you log in and log out of the sessions. ICBA will issue a Certificate of Completion for CPE credits at the completion of each session. These CPE can be used for maintenance of ICBA certifications.

    To report the sessions as live training CPE for ICBA Certifications, be sure to choose ICBA Live In-Person Seminar from the Course Type dropdown in your Online Certification Portfolio.

    Yes, you will have access to the certification exam(s) through ICBA’s Online Platform. You will be able to access the exam by logging into the online platform at the time specified by ICBA. You will not be allowed any outside help or materials while completing the exam. You will have a designated amount of time in which to complete and submit the exam.

    Our events will be hosted in a Zoom platform.

    For security purposes, we will set a password on all meetings to ensure the meeting is protected from hackers.  We also enable Zoom’s “Waiting Room” feature, which allows our meeting hosts to keep participants in a digital queue until they are verified and approved to join  

    Requirements for participation in the zoom event are as follows:

    • An internet connection – broadband wired or wireless (3G or 4G/LTE)
    • Speakers and a microphone – built-in or USB plug-in or wireless Bluetooth.
    • A webcam or HD webcam – built-in or USB plug-in.

    Community Banker University has teamed with Dell to bring you affordable webcams and headsets to optimize your virtual learning experience. Most options are plug and play and don't require the installation of any software to run. Visit Dell.com/ICBA to access member savings.

    You will receive an email from ICBA the week prior to the event with instruction on how to access your materials at icba.org. You will have access to a PDF file that you may print or download to your computer.

    Registration Cancellation

    If registration is cancelled more than 30 days prior to the event start date, you will receive a full refund. If cancellation is within 30 days prior to the event start date, 20 percent of the registration fee paid will be deducted for costs. A substitute registration will be accepted. No refunds will be issued once the bank has received event materials or after the event start date.

    Attendance at all ICBA programs will be considered on a first come, first served basis. If the program is cancelled, ICBA’s liability is limited to the registration fee. For additional questions contact ICBA at 800-422-7285.

    ICBA Code of Conduct & Complaint Policy

    Registration, attendance, or participation at this event constitutes an agreement to adhere to the ICBA code of conduct and complaint policy. ICBA’s Community Banker University events aim to be welcoming, safe, and inclusive to all participants, with the most varied and diverse backgrounds possible.

    As such, The Independent Community Bankers of America (“ICBA” or the “Association”) has adopted a zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of unlawful discrimination and harassment.

    This zero-tolerance policy means that the Association will not tolerate any conduct by or towards any meeting participant and ICBA staff during the conference (virtual or face-to-face) that singles out an individual or group of individuals for different treatment than others based on a protected characteristic, that is intended to or has the effect of unreasonably interfering with another’s participation in or that creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive conference.

    Accordingly, the Association absolutely prohibits harassment or discrimination, in any form, based on sex, age, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, race, color, religion, national origin, veteran status, or any other legally protected characteristic. All participants, including, but not limited to, attendees, speakers, exhibitors, vendors, contractors, ICBA staff members, service providers, and all others are expected to abide by this ICBA Code of Conduct.

    This Policy applies to all ICBA meeting-related and hosted events, including those sponsored by organizations other than ICBA but held in conjunction with ICBA events, on public or private platforms. To ensure everyone has a best-in-class experience, we ask each attendee to adhere to certain principles:

    • Be respectful of your fellow attendee in thought, word, and deed.

    • Be open-minded and ready to learn. Embrace learning at all times.

    • Be inclusive in your speech, writing, and actions. Celebrate and appreciate our differences.

    • Be present. ICBA’s Community Banker University events are a time for renewal and learning; be fully engaged during sessions.

    • Respect confidentiality requests by speakers and other attendees.

    • We invite you to attend in a spirit of curiosity, friendliness, open-mindedness, camaraderie, and respect. We will not tolerate harassment in any form.

    If you experience harassment or hear of any incidents of unacceptable behavior, ICBA asks that you immediately inform Lindsay LaNore, Chief Learning and Experience Officer, at [email protected] or 320-352-7321, so that we can take appropriate action.


    Unacceptable behaviors include, but are not limited to:

    • Harassment, intimidation, or discrimination in any form.

    • Verbal abuse of any attendee, speaker, exhibitor, ICBA staff member, service provider, or other meeting guest.
