About this conference

Acquire or Be Acquired is Bank Director's growth and strategy conference for bank CEOs, senior executives and board members, built around M&A, capital strategy and bank valuation. It typically draws roughly 1,300-1,500 attendees representing several hundred financial institutions, making it one of the largest bank M&A gatherings in the US. The room skews toward community and regional banks rather than the largest national institutions, and a substantial share of it is investment bankers, lawyers and accountants who advise on deals — useful if you want counsel, worth knowing if you expected a peer-only audience. Sessions are pitched to be board-friendly, aimed at directors who are not full-time bankers. Held in the Phoenix area in early February, the timing lands as boards set strategy for the year, and much of the value sits in corridor conversation.
