"Loved the experience and connections made."

"I thought content and discussion was good. The fact that Cornerstone Advisors provided the TOM's was worth the price of admission. I plan to use them for a self evaluation and for 2023 planning."

"Wonderful group of bankers in the room to bounce ideas off of. It was so valuable to hear what other bankers are doing or considering. Not 1 size fits all."

"Love it...sparked conversations and feedback. I was never bored."
