MEGA Conference - May 27 -29, 2025
Established in 1992, the Mega Conference has evolved into one of the premier gatherings among state bankers’ associations nationwide. As our flagship educational event, it features dynamic keynote speakers, over 48 engaging concurrent sessions, a lively exhibit hall, and a variety of optional social activities.
Annual Washington Trip
The IBA Annual Washington Trip affords bankers the opportunity to talk with legislators and regulators about the successes and concerns of Indiana's banking industry. These officials need to hear your ideas firsthand in order to produce workable laws and regulations. This is your chance to tell policymakers face-to-face why the regulatory burden imposed on banks is too heavy and to make suggestions for modifications to burdensome rules. Bankers who have attended past Washington Visits were able to solve problems and raise issues of concern to policymakers individually. The trip is planned for maximum contact and productivity.
Annual Convention - September 7 - 9, 2025
The Convention serves as the annual meeting of the Association and combines education with social and networking events to bring together members in a relaxed atmosphere.
Legislative Briefing and Reception
Each year, the Indiana Bankers Association Legislative Reception offers bankers the opportunity to meet with legislators during the legislative session to discuss issues that are important to the banking industry. This is a valuable way for the legislators of Indiana to see the individuals who make up the banking industry. The event begins with a legislative briefing where bankers are informed of the current legislation being discussed at the statehouse. Then, a legislative reception follows, where Indiana’s elected officials are invited to meet with bankers in a casual environment.
Regional Meetings
The IBA schedules regional meetings each summer to allow bankers and legislators the opportunity to meet for lunch and get to know one another. The regional meetings include an hour-long update on the Indiana Bankers Association, including legislative information and advocacy opportunities. Following the update, local legislators from the Indiana General Assembly arrive to meet and have lunch with bankers from the community.
Economic Outlook Luncheon - December 5, 2025
The Economic Outlook Luncheon showcases economic experts who will share valuable information about both current events and the future of the region’s economy. It also provides business leaders an opportunity to network with peers.
CEOs, presidents, CFOs, directors and other members of senior management would benefit from this program. Additionally, IBA members are encouraged to invite small business customers, who would benefit from the high-level networking and a look at the year ahead.
