Announcing Peer Group 2025!!
A Message from Our Board Chair, Amy Evans:
Dear Members of Heritage Clubs International,
As your Board Chair, I am thrilled to announce the destination for Peer Group 2025: SIOUX CITY, IOWA and the return of the Bankers Only PRE-FAM TOUR! With the pre-fam starting from Sioux City February 21st and returning February 24th, and the conference beginning February 24th through February 28th, 2025, this year is destined to be an engaging conference designed to impact the future of the Bank Travel Industry.
Additionally, this year we are privileged to partner with the Explore Siouxland CVB and host our conference at the Hilton Garden Inn Sioux City Riverfront, each bringing unique elements that enhance our conference.
Why Sioux City? Situated at the merging of two major rivers, this city is full of culture and commerce, making it the perfect backdrop for our theme: "Exploring the Power of Bank Travel." Our partners at Explore Siouxland CVB are enthusiastic about showcasing what Siouxland has to offer. They shared, "We are thrilled to host the Heritage Clubs International Peer Group Conference. Siouxland is not just a location; it’s a vibrant community rich in history and culture. From our historic landmarks to breathtaking scenic vistas, we offer an immersive experience that perfectly complements the spirit of the conference."
Our venue, the Hilton Garden Inn Riverfront is eager to welcome us with its stunning riverfront views and exceptional facilities. As they put it, "The hotel is located on the banks of the beautiful Missouri River, offering breathtaking views and a welcoming atmosphere that includes the CRAVE American Kitchen and Sushi Bar. With our dedicated service and beautifully appointed rooms, we are excited to make your stay memorable."
These partnerships ensure that Peer Group 2025 will not only be full of enriching sessions, workshops, and networking events, but build connections, gain new perspectives, and enjoy the unique atmosphere that Sioux City has to offer. Stay tuned for more details on what you can look forward to, including the pre-fam tour, keynote speakers and special events. We invite both new and returning attendees to be part of this exciting journey and join us to explore, learn, and shape the future of bank travel together in Sioux City!
We cannot wait to see you in Sioux City for what's expected to be one of our best Peer Group conferences yet!!!
Regards,
Amy Evans
