"Evolve or die." That's a common philosophy of business. No industry better typifies that than ours, the multi-line financial service center industry. And that's why the theme for our 23rd Annual Conference & Exposition is "Embracing the Future: Thriving in an Evolving Marketplace." This year, we are delighted to be at the JW Marriott/Ritz Carlton, Grande Lakes Orlando in Orlando, FL on October 28-30 where we will help provide the information you need to ensure your company doesn't just survive, but thrives in the marketplace.
What might the future bring? Our first general session will explore this topic in detail with leaders and experts from the industry and beyond, including Daniel J. O'Malley, Executive Vice President of the Americas, MoneyGram International, Inc, Jennifer Tescher, President and CEO, Center for Financial Services Innovation, and Dr. Patricia Cirillo, President, Cypress Research.

One thing we know the future will bring; the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. We will deliver a cross-section of experts to discuss the new bureau and its possible impact on our industry. We also have dedicated a panel to exploring Digital Money; the evolution of payments to consumers. These panels will include an array of industry and third party experts and government representatives.

We again will be offering an"Open Table Discussion" forum where attendees can meet informally and explore relevant issues with colleagues. And then there is the Exhibition Hall where more than 100 companies will be offering the latest products and services. There also will be a formal luncheon on Saturday with a compelling keynote speaker and the awards dinner Sunday night with live entertainment.

This year we have an extensive line-up of workshops dedicated to different aspects of the financial service center business. FiSCA also will be offering the popular Anti-Money Laundering Compliance Training Certification Program. Pre-registration is required for this event. If you are interested, register early to ensure yourself a space.

On Friday, October 28th, FiSCA will hold its 17th Annual Golf Tournament. Then, on Sunday evening, building on the success of last year's awards dinner, we will again be holding our Annual Awards Dinner which will feature live entertainment. I hope you can join us for these fun and exciting events. For your convenience we've enclosed a Conference Registration Form - or simply register online at www.fisca.org.
