With 4,000 in attendance at this year’s Fiserv Forum, “Life” seemed to be an appropriate theme. The theme was captured best through social media with the thoughts of my fellow attendees.
From the opening sequence to the closing breakout sessions, bankers were energized to share how technology changes life and banking.

Former FBI Director, Robert Mueller III shared many of the ways that Life changed from his vantage point, as he took over his role a week before 9.11.

One of my personal highlights was hearing the tremendous leadership example Condoleezza Rice shared. (Of course I also loved hearing her talk about football and golf.)

Fiserv’s CEO, Jeff Yabuki, shared a number of anecdotes describing technology and the rapid evolution of products and technology. His thought-provoking questions challenged, intrigued, and perhaps haunted a number of people in attendance:
@jeffyabuki asks how many folks from audience owns an apple device. Almost all of the 4000 folks stand up. Priceless 🙂 #fiservforum
