OPENING KEYNOTE / MONDAY / SEPTEMBER 18, 2017 / 5:15 PM
The Future of Consumerism
In this fascinating talk, Doug Stephens will tackle the future of consumerism. He’ll shed light on the key shifts in economics, demographics, technology, and media that are completely transforming the consumer landscape, and the very essence of retail banking.
Who the consumer is, and how, where, and why they use banking channels, is changing rapidly and forever. The way branches look — and how customers interact with them — is constantly in flux. Mobile technology, social media, location-based services, machine-to-machine connection, big data, and a deluge of developing technologies are all conspiring to forever change how we use and deliver financial services.
How do we cope with all these transformations? Doug will share what smart brands are doing to re-imagine their business and capitalize on historic changes.
