See you in Big Sky, 2023 

The MIB convention is frequently mentioned by our vendors and bankers as their favorite event of the year.  This is due to our convention’s warm, informal, and stimulating atmosphere. Our convention attendees savor excellent food and mingle with their banking friends during the various convention social activities.  These activities include the Wednesday Welcome Reception, the Vendor’s Night Reception and Awards Night (with loads of prizes),  MIB PAC Silent Auction. Relationship building is a high priority at Montana’s only community banking convention.

These are just a few reasons to attend this annual event. You come for the fun, but you leave armed with valuable information, strengthened relationships, and a game plan for business success.

Come Celebrate the past, present, and future of Montana community banking with us!

Popular donations include hunting/fishing/outdoor gear, travel/vacation packages, jewelry and accessories, gourmet wine and food packages, electronics, Made-in-Montana goods, and any unique items from your area!
