“How does Haberfeld know what I’m doing in May?”

Because you’re going to be in San Antonio for Haberfeld’s Annual Symposium! Stake your claim at the gosh-darn rootin’-est, tootin’-est time this side of the Mississippi.

Here are five reasons to register today and join us in the Lone Star State.

1. Learn from industry experts what your FI must do to claim your space and grow within the ever-changing banking landscape. Topics include Branch Excellence, Next-Level Marketing Strategies, HPG™ Checkup, How to Handle Those Tough Conversations in Your Branch, Building Your Professional Identity, Developing Resiliency in the Face of Adversity, and Creating a Memorable Prospect-to-Client Experience.

Can’t decide what to pick? Or can’t find one you like? These sessions are only the tip of the iceberg. And if you attend Manager or Marketing Academy, prepare to learn even more, consarn it!

2. Connect with likeminded community bankers as you share wisdom, forge relationships, and generate new ideas about growth. Sure, we’re all about learning and helping your FI stake its claim, but we’re also about having fun. Meet up with your best and brightest peers from banks and credit unions all over the country—and get ready for a hoedown featuring dinner, drinks, karaoke, and more!

3. Learn how to turn setbacks into opportunities from our inspiring keynote speaker Ron “Gus” Gustafson. Raised on a farm in northern Nebraska, Gus had his right leg crushed and lost his right arm and shoulder in a devastating farm accident as a boy. Despite the odds and a basketball coach who said he would never make the team, he played varsity ball and earned the respect of his coach. He even played collegiate basketball until a knee injury ended his career.

Even with the setbacks life has thrown him, Gus is a successful entrepreneur with a simple outlook: Never give up and always have the courage to face the next challenge. This powerful message is sure to resonate with you long after you come home from your trip!

4. Do more than just remember the Alamo by taking advantage of the best hospitality San Antonio has to offer. On Tuesday evening, you can join your fellow Symposium attendees on complimentary shuttles down to the city’s famous River Walk! Or, discover all that the Hyatt Regency Hill Country has to offer by golfing 27 holes, pulling up a rocking chair on Aunt Mary’s porch, or enjoying a cocktail at the Antlers Lodge!

5. Where else can you see Achim Griesel float down a lazy river? We’re not saying it’ll happen for sure, just that you’re definitely not going to see it if you DON’T come.

It’s time to stake your claim and register for Symposium 2024 today!
