There'll also be plenty of time to enjoy some good ole Mexican food or stroll along the San Antonio River Walk and enjoy al fresco dining, shopping, lush landscapes, quaint pathways, cascading waterfalls, outdoor art and relaxing patios.

Subchapter S Bank Association's 17th Annual Conference
In the past five years new rules, guidelines and responsibilities have changed the way we all do business. The pace of change is accelerating, and on top of that, some of the recently-enacted requirements are already being changed! We all scramble to stay up to date on the latest tatics, legislation, and tools to set up a game plan and educate ourselves, but it's an exhausting process.
You need help. That's where the Subchapter S Bank Association conference comes in. We've dissected every bit of information relating to Subchapter S banks and their opportunities and challenges, and organized it, and will present it to you in a way that will ensure you are up-to-date and armed with tips, action steps, and the knowledge necessary to improve performance.
We are bringing together a group of industry experts and a large group of industry participants to sort through the news of the year. You can be certain that you will be up-to-date and ready to tackle those thorny obstacles you are facing.
