Leadership360
May 5 - 6, 2025 | Albany Capital Center

Two days to sharpen how you lead - your people, your culture, and your career. Leadership360 is New York Bankers Association’s high-energy leadership experience for banking professionals who want practical tools, real talk, and a network that will be there to support your career advancement goals. 

Expect: inspiring keynotes, skill-building sessions, a management-level look at the industry, and the kind of peer connections that last. 

WHY YOU SHOULD COME:
Leadership isn’t a title; it's the confidence and can-do attitude you radiate at any level. Leadership360 helps you build that “I’ve got this” leadership muscle with practical ideas you can use immediately: 
- Lead through change (and keep your team with you) 
- Communicate with clarity—up, down, and across the org 
- Strengthen culture + collaboration building a sense of
  inclusivity and belonging to achieve your goals and the bank's goals. 
- Build influence and executive presence that doesn’t feel fake 
- Expand your network across New York banking—emerging leaders,
  people leaders, and senior decision-makers

WHO ATTENDS: 
If you’re building your leadership impact in banking, you’ll be in good company: 
- Early- and mid-career bank officers 
- People leaders and senior bank leaders 
- HR professionals and talent teams 
- Government relations and advocacy teams 

WHAT TO EXPECT: 
If you’re building your leadership impact in banking, you’ll be in good company: 
- Day 1 (May 5): The Albany Visit (Optional add-on) + Personal Brand
  Accelerator (Optional add-on) + Human Resources Discussion and
  Roundtable (Optional add-on) + Community-building (Reception/Dinner)
