Join us for the launch of a transformational initiative designed to modernize Minority Depository Institutions (MDIs) with digital technology: MDI ConnectTech.
This in-person event is designed to bring together a diverse community of MDIs, political leaders, regulators, technologists, NGOs and investors to tackle what’s at stake for bank and credit union MDIs, explore the technological challenges facing these institutions, and to chart a path for how these financial institutions can thrive in the digital age.
This is the foundation event for a series you don’t want to miss.
