2026 Session Descriptions
Recent Developments in Illinois and Federal Banking Law
Carly Berard, Associate General Counsel, Illinois Bankers Association
Learn about the latest updates in Illinois and federal banking law. We’ll cover the delayed Interchange Fee Prohibition Act and deregulatory legislation for Illinois banks and savings banks, new laws on consumer debt, unclaimed property, and estate accounts, plus penny issues, the Illinois CRA, the GENIUS Act, recent court rulings, shifting agency guidance, and much more! We’ll provide in-depth analyses and review history and context, helping you communicate these changes to business lines and senior management.
Fair Lending Testing and Shifting Enforcement Priorities
Tory Haggerty, CRCM, CAFP, CBAP, CCBCO, FLE, President, Tuscan Club Consulting
In this session, Tory will walk you through the loan lifecycle of risks, discussing each step and how to review your program. At a time when it feels that regulatory oversight has scaled back, now is the time to push your program forward. Learn what you should be doing today so that you can succeed in any environment.
Artificial Intelligence in Banking
David Fields, Partner, Wipfli Advisory LLC
Artificial intelligence is transforming banking operations, offering new efficiencies while introducing complex compliance and risk management challenges. This session will explore how financial institutions can implement AI strategically, with a focus on governance and security, education and training, and regulatory expectations related to transparency, bias, and consumer protection. Attendees will gain practical insight into balancing innovation with effective oversight to mitigate risk and maximize value.
Detecting and Disrupting Emerging Financial Crime Tactics
Ray Olsen, SVP, Senior Director – Enterprise Fraud Management, Wintrust Bank
As financial crime continues to evolve, fraudsters are adapting their tactics to exploit vulnerabilities in the financial system. This session will examine a range of financial crime schemes — including jackpotting, phishing, bank imposter scams, and the misuse of complaint and dispute processes — and explore practical strategies for strengthening fraud programs to better identify, escalate, and respond to these risks across the customer lifecycle.
Navigating Regulation E Error Resolution Investigations
Brian J. Crow, Managing Partner, Co-President, Thomas Compliance Associates (TCA)
As consumer payment technologies evolve, so do fraud risks — often leaving financial institutions absorbing losses under Regulation E. This session explores key liability questions, including customer responsibility, negligence, and how increasingly sophisticated fraud methods are reshaping the risk landscape. Through case studies and regulatory guidance, attendees will learn how to navigate unauthorized transaction determinations while balancing compliance and financial risk.
