The Banking
Masterclass
A day and a half on the history, principles, and personalities of American banking.
A different kind of room.
The Masterclass is built around people more than products, and around understanding the past more than predicting the future.
The cohort is small. The conversations are unhurried. The room is curated.
What happens here doesn't happen at a typical industry conference.
