Peer Group Meetings
TBA offers several programs for bankers to network in a relaxed, informal setting. These meetings are designed to build community and give bankers the opportunity to exchange ideas, dissect problems and discuss relevant topics and issues with their peers.
Executive Forums
Take advantage of this exclusive opportunity to join executive level banking professionals, like yourself, in pertinent conversations specific to your management roles. There are four Forums that cater to each executive position: CEO, CFO, Senior Lender and IT & Security Officer.
Forums are typically broken into two groups capped at 20 participants, which are formed based on bank asset size and market. This ensures all participants can relate to the topics and competition is minimal. The facilitator will encourage everyone to submit topics of interest prior to each Forum to further customize each meeting. To keep consistency throughout forums, we ask that there be minimal substitutions throughout the year. If you sign up for all the forums, please make sure you are able to attend all three dates.
*Forums are for TBA Bank Members only*
Note that size is limited, so claim your seat before your Forum is full.
Each Forum meets three times per calendar year for one day. Meetings will be held at the TBA Headquarters in Austin, TX. The foorums are broken into two groups based on bank asset size and market. If your registration is approved for 2027, you will be assigned your group by TBA staff to ensure that topics are relatable to you and competition is minimal.
Networking at its best
Huddles
Huddles are free, bank-hosted informal peer-to-peer networking sessions for professionals in the banking industry. Participants tackle several topics developed by training professionals and session attendees. Typically, these are virtual sessions that will last about an hour or so.
*Please know that these huddles are specifically for bankers only. If we see that you have joined as a non-banker, unfortunately we will have to cancel the registration.

Volunteer to host!
Hosting a Huddle
As a host, you have the chance to foster the conversation with your group, inform them about what your bank is doing in this sphere, and participate, as well. TBA hopes this service is impactful to your banking community by giving banking professionals a space for open dialogue, networking, and resource sharing.
Who attends?
Banking professionals in your area attend the Huddles. We will help you market to TBA members specifically by providing you with an email list to reach out to, but you know your community best! Non-members are more than welcome to attend.
When and where?
That is the beauty of being a host … you get to decide when and where! You can turn this into a breakfast meeting, happy hour, luncheon, coffee break — whatever works best for you. A typical Huddle will last around one hour — but this is completely up to you — and will take place at your bank (it can also be a virtual meeting or hybrid).
