FURST - Innovation in Banking

Financial Users Researching Strategies Together

"Innovation" means never being satisfied with today's world, its limitations and restrictions; never becoming complacent. "Innovation" is the relentless search for answers to questions that haven't even been asked. FURST will help you find and deliver innovative solutions to your bank.

Both the FURST CEO Network and the FURST Senior Management Conference bring bankers from all over the world together not only to talk about the future of banking, but to forge its path. You're invited to become a part of this community and experience, firsthand, the benefits that FURST brings to your bank:

  		•  Peer-group Networking Sessions - Build long-lasting, beneficial relationships
  		• Idea Exchanges with hundreds of fellow Bankway® power-users
  		• Educational Workshops
  		• Discussion Panels on industry trends and directions
  		•  Concentrated "tracks" geared towards you and your position in the bank
  		• Meet Metavante Executives and Product Experts
  		• Expo Center - Hands on experiences and demonstrations
  		• Updates on Bankway® - What's new and what's coming?
  		• Forum for your input on software development

    Perhaps the biggest gain of all will be your ability to return home and create waves of change in your bank - ones that deliver results; the ability to take your bold, ambitious ideas and turn them into extraordinary real-world solutions. It happens time after time.

    The strategic evolution of FURST is always in motion, changing to meet your business and technology needs, year after year. Take this opportunity to join us, and your peers, in developing strategies, exchanging ideas, and discovering what it is that makes your bank distinctly different to your customers. Join us.
