Corporate Social Responsibility is one of the hottest topics in Chicago’s business community today. Organizations large and small are investing in policies that will build a better future by prioritizing sustainable, equitable, and responsible solutions to problems found in Chicago, the US, and the world. Whether you are a family business, national corporation, or global nonprofit, there are a plethora of opportunities to engage in this space.

Banking is anything but business as usual these days. With disruption in the credit card, customer service, retail experience, and lending models of years past, the future of this industry is teed up for a new era of modernization and change. Younger consumers are forcing companies to adapt to customizable, on-the-go solutions that make customers feel like they are receiving authentically personal care. Millennial and Gen Z consumers want to do business with banks that align to their values and communities. Virtual assistants, wearables, robo-advisors, and other innovations are transforming the ways businesses interact with their customers and partners. What do all these changes mean for your bottom line?

Join us on February 4 to hear from industry pioneers and learn what your organization can be doing to stay ahead of the curve and serve the customers of tomorrow.
