Nashville, Tenn. (March 10, 2025) — Community bankers and industry leaders from across the nation are set to gather this week for the Independent Community Bankers of America's (ICBA) national convention, ICBA LIVE 2025, at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville.
This year's convention theme, "Rhythm. Amplified.," celebrates the unique rhythm of community banking and the amplified connections and ideas that await attendees. ICBA LIVE, the largest gathering of community bankers in the world runs from Monday, March 11-Friday, March 14.
This year’s conference features a dynamic lineup of general session speakers, including bestselling author and trends expert Rohit Bhargava, three-time Olympic gold medalist and entrepreneur Kerri Walsh Jennings, and English businessman Dave Fishwick, whose story inspired the Netflix film "Bank of Dave." ICBA Chairman Lucas White, ICBA Chairman-elect Jack Hopkins, and ICBA President and CEO Rebeca Romero Rainey are also scheduled to speak.
“As community banks continue to drive local economic prosperity, ICBA is proud to provide this platform to amplify their voices, fuel innovation, and foster collaboration,” ICBA President and CEO Rebeca Romero Rainey said. “We look forward to an inspiring week dedicated to the industry’s growth and success, leveraging our collective strength and persistence to write the next chapter of community banking.”
Throughout the event, community bankers can choose from more than 60 expert-led sessions and roundtables spanning multiple tracks, including digital transformation and innovation; fraud, cybersecurity and risk; growth and marketing; lending and deposits; management and strategy; regulation and bank examinations; and workforce development. The event will also feature the ICBA ThinkTECH Showcase, where community bankers can view product demos from select ICBA ThinkTECH Accelerator participants, and an Expo with more than 250 exhibiting companies.
