TOP BANKING AND POLICY LEADERS TO CONVENE AT KBRA’S ANNUAL BANK SYMPOSIUM 2025
KBRA is proud to host its annual Bank Symposium on November 19 in Washington, D.C., uniting senior policymakers, regulatory officials, bankers, and institutional investors for a day of forward-looking discussions on the forces shaping today’s financial landscape.
This year’s event arrives at a pivotal moment for the banking industry, as institutions contend with credit normalization, deposit competition, interest rate volatility, emerging regulatory frameworks, and the evolving role of regional and community banks. The symposium will feature keynote presentations, fireside chats, and panel discussions offering timely perspectives and actionable insights across the sector.
Jim VandeHei, Co-founder and CEO of Axios, will return as a featured guest speaker. Prior to founding Axios—a media company known for delivering essential news and insights across politics, business, and technology—VandeHei cofounded Politico, where he also served as CEO.
The program includes a fireside chat with Jonathan Gould, Comptroller of the Currency, in conversation with Joe Scott, Senior Managing Director and Head of Financial Institutions Ratings at KBRA.
Congressman Bryan Steil (WI-01), a member of the U.S. House Committee on Financial Services, will also address attendees, sharing his perspectives from the subcommittees on Financial Institutions and Monetary Policy, and on Capital Markets.
Additional featured speakers include Andrew Bishop, Senior Partner and Global Head of Policy and Research at
Signum Global Advisors; John Asbury, CEO of Atlantic Union Bankshares; Curtis Lueker, Head of Direct Lending at Marathon Asset Management; Donna Ennis, Senior Portfolio Manager at Federated Insurance; and Kassi Saridakis, Managing Director at Newmark.
“This year’s symposium comes at a time of meaningful transition for the banking sector,” said Jim Nadler, President and CEO of KBRA. “From credit trends to capital markets activity and regulatory evolution, the issues facing banks today require open, informed dialogue. We’re proud to provide a platform for industry leaders and policymakers to exchange ideas that can drive clarity and progress.”
