The Industry’s First Conference on Intelligent Banking

November 15 – 17, 2026 | Nashville, TN | Omni Hotel

Secure Your Early Bird Pricing Now!

Something remarkable is happening in financial services technology.

A new era is emerging — Intelligent Banking — where modern operations, enterprise connectivity, and data activation converge to unlock capabilities that were simply not possible before. Kinections26 is the industry’s first conference dedicated to this movement.

Budget meeting

This is Intelligent Banking. And it changes everything.

Intelligent Banking unlocks capabilities that were previously out of reach for community banks and credit unions. Institutions can now anticipate what consumers need before they ask, deliver guidance that actually fits each person’s situation, and spot operational problems before they escalate.

Kinections26 is where we bring Intelligent Banking to life, together.

At Kinections26, you will learn from institutions that have already implemented Intelligent Banking and achieved results that once seemed out of reach — $1 billion in asset growth, 200% increases in loan volume, $167 million in new mortgage revenue. You will hear from industry leaders on the technologies making this possible: enterprise connectivity, modern infrastructure, and the practical implementation of AI, machine learning, and predictive analytics.

 

Three days in Nashville. The executives, innovators, and thought leaders shaping the future of banking. One defining moment for your institution.

What You Will Experience

  • The Modernize, Connect, Activate framework that turns Intelligent Banking from vision into reality
  • The power of Human + AI and how this synergy propels banking experiences beyond what either can achieve alone
  • Real transformation stories from banks and credit unions already operationalizing Intelligent Banking
  • Hands-on discovery of how modernized operations, connectivity, and activated data come together
  • Your roadmap home with actionable frameworks tailored to where your institution is today

Why Now?

Community banks and credit unions provide something irreplaceable: personalized financial services delivered by people who genuinely care about their neighbors. These institutions deserve every advantage that data and technology can provide.

 

The technology has arrived. The institutions that move now will define what exceptional banking looks like in their markets. Those that wait will spend years trying to catch up.

 

The window is open. But it will not stay open forever.

 

The institutions leading the future of banking will be in Nashville this November.
