IBAT’s Annual Convention is a four-day event that takes an in-depth look at key issues impacting the banking industry, specifically those related to community banks. General sessions (often featuring renowned national speakers), learning labs, regulator roundtables and banker-peer resource sharing sessions are offered on the education front. Networking opportunities and entertainment options, including the Chairman’s Luau, PAC Auction/Dinner and Songwriters’ Showcase, round out the Convention schedule.

2019 Speakers and Sessions

Dr. Ray Perryman	The Current Status and Future Outlook for the Texas Economy Sunday, September 22 | 12:30-1:30 p.m.    Dr. Ray Perryman will discuss current economic conditions in the state, as well as his projections for the future. Trends and patterns influencing growth will be described, including the energy sector, trade policy, labor force and immigration, regional factors and competitive position.
Preston Kennedy	Conversation with ICBA Chairman Sunday, September 22 | 11:30 a.m.-Noon Preston L. Kennedy is chairman of the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA), the only national advocacy organization that exclusively represents community banks. President and CEO of Zachary Bancshares Inc., in Zachary, LA, Kennedy has served many leadership roles at ICBA leading up to his current position. He has always maintained longstanding ties to his community. Kennedy is a past president of the Feliciana Chamber of Commerce, the Zachary Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary Club of Zachary, as well as having served on boards of small business incubator Dixie Business Center and the Lane Regional Medical Center Foundation. Kennedy attended Silliman Institute, holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Louisiana State University’s (LSU) E. J. Ourso School of Business and is a graduate of the Graduate School of Banking at LSU.
John O’ Leary	The Power of One Monday, September 23 | 8:00-9:00 a.m. Expected to die, John O’Leary now teaches others how to truly live. O’Leary was a curious nine-year-old boy. Playing with fire and gasoline, he created a massive explosion in his garage and was burned on 100 percent of his body. Given less than one percent chance of survival, O’Leary is proof of the power of the human spirit. O’Leary is consistently referenced as “the best speaker we’ve ever had.” His book, On Fire: The 7 Choices to Ignite a Radically Inspired Life, was an instant No. 1 national bestseller, has sold 100,000-plus copies and been translated into 12 languages.
Dave Martin	Good People Win Tuesday, September 24 | 11:15 a.m.-Noon Like many in the banking industry, Dave Martin was an accidental banker. After early careers as a radio morning man, marketing director for an oil field industry supplier and a stretch working in the finance department of a university research facility, Martin was recruited by a friend to join a bank. Specifically, he was hired to run that institution’s first in-store branch location. Two decades and stints as a senior bank executive and trainer/consultant later, Martin’s core beliefs about banking remain intact. Banking remains a people business, and organizations with good people win. Martin has become one of the most prolific writers in the banking industry. His columns and newsletters are read in thousands of financial institutions each month. He is also a member of the guest faculty of the Southwestern Graduate School of Banking at Southern Methodist University.
