Aite Group's Small Business UX Forum is going VIRTUAL! 

Due to the COVID-19 global health crisis, Aite Group’s Small Business UX Forum is transforming into a virtual event on June 10th. While we had hoped to meet in Austin, Texas for a face-to-face event, we’re excited to launch an interactive virtual event experience for our attendees, speakers, and sponsors.

Achieving the Right Small-Business User Experience

Effectively serving small businesses remains a pain point for most financial institutions, regardless of size. Critical to success is not only arming your institution with the right products and services to meet new customer expectations, but also offering the right experience that matches those offered by online retailers and fintech companies. The user experience bar has risen and your competition is no longer just the bank next door.

Join Aite Group research director Christine Barry along with senior analysts Gilles Ubaghs and David O’Connell on Wednesday, June 10, 2020 as they explore key small-business user experience issues. Hear about the findings from a recent study of 1,000 U.S. based small businesses about their challenges and expectations for banks, as well as key tactics that can be implemented for greater success. Listen to industry thought leaders as they discuss how the right onboarding experience can jump-start a deeper client relationship, as well as the necessary steps to effectively create the right fintech marketplace to reposition financial institutions as advisors and partners, as opposed to simply transaction providers.

Key Reasons to Attend:

  • Participate in interactive panel discussions covering some of the industry’s hottest topics including small-business banking technology innovation and user experience enhancements, customer onboarding, and the growing role of fintech companies necessary to meet new customer expectations around money management, payments and lending
  • Network and exchange ideas with bank and credit union executives, as well as leading technology providers and thought leaders through a virtual experience
  • Hear from Aite Group analysts about key trends impacting your business and recommendations for how to best position your organization for future success in today’s evolving industry
 

Who Should Attend:

Senior-level banking executives and financial industry leaders, including leading technology providers, focused on exceeding new small-business expectations around user experience, onboarding, and expanded capabilities beyond those traditionally offered by the banking industry.
