"Baker Hill is one of the very few vendors where I have seen and experienced that true sense of community. I've managed a number of vendors throughout my career, and it is rare to see. I've seen it voiced on paper, but not really put into action like Baker Hill has done."
—Barry Burns, Home Bank
What to Expect from Prosper 2025
BUILD YOUR COMMUNITY
Prosper is intentionally designed to give you the opportunity to network and learn from others. Whether it’s our Birds of a Feather session that is led by Baker Hill clients sharing how they get the most out of Baker Hill NextGen®, our planned networking activities, or even just time spent with new contacts during coffee breaks or meals. Prosper is about expanding your network and in turn expanding your knowledge.
GET INVOLVED
When we say “built by bankers, for bankers” we don’t just mean the former bankers that work at Baker Hill. Baker Hill also relies on the User Community, a group of key end-users representing financial institutions of all sizes that are leveraging Baker Hill products. The User Community works directly with the Baker Hill product team to give feedback on upcoming product launches, what features they’d like to see included in our product roadmap, and other information about the industry.
LEARN AND PROSPER WITH THE EXPERTS
Aside from learning from peers during the networking and roundtable discussions, Prosper also gives you the opportunity to learn from other industry experts throughout the conference with engaging educational sessions and keynote addresses. Focused on topics that are facing the banking industry, there are multiple opportunities to gain knowledge to take back to your bank or credit union and grow in your career.
