2023's stellar lineup includes celebrated thought leaders from across the financial services industry and beyond. Attendees will also hear the latest from inside DCG's team of balance sheet management advisory consultants, quantitative risk and analysis consultants, product experts, model risk management leaders, and more.
Join DCG's signature education event as we celebrate 40 years of coming together to learn and share with community bank and credit union peers.
When we gather for DCG's 40th annual conference, we will delve into our industry’s most pressing challenges and opportunities.
This year, now more than ever, it is crucial we come together to address the intense internal and external scrutiny, and the potential risks of making the wrong decisions.
Balance sheet risk measurement and management will be top of mind: interest rate, liquidity, credit, and capital risks. We will also examine and discuss best practices for model risk management and governance, CECL, and enterprise stress testing and contingency planning. We will explore the critical role of data to enable the development of more informed and customer-centric deposit and lending strategies.
We look forward to welcoming you in Boston for networking and camaraderie to help celebrate Darling Consulting Group’s 40 years of independent and unwavering commitment to banking excellence.
