Mark the date on your 2002 calendar now: Wednesday and Thursday, April 24 and 25, 2002. That’s when your Association’s annual conference will be held at the Omni Los Angeles Hotel, in downtown Los Angeles. That’s the same hotel where we hold our monthly meetings. After 20 years as an EXPO, and after successfully using the symposium format two years ago, Symposium 2002 will have all of the educational and networking opportunities as before, which everyone has always valued so highly, and more.

Jessica Fox (Union Bank of California) and her Symposium 2002 Committee have been hard at work, and they are now finalizing the programming into multiple tracks, including:

• Technology
• Electronic Banking and Commerce
• Contingency Planning and Disaster Recovery
• Accounting, Finance, and Capital Management
• Investments

There will also be an á la carte track with exciting presentations on:

• International Cash Management
• Risk Management
• Fraud, and
• Hot Topics, an open discussion

The new-look symposium format and the creativity-laden program promise to make Symposium 2002 an event you won’t want to miss. Plan to bring a team!
