Agenda - The Banks Report

We picked the Jasna Polana location and designed the one-day agenda to allow for attendees in the Northeast to travel in and out on the same day.

This is an exclusive event and is open to invited guests only. Due to the intimate environment provided by the Jasna Polana, we have limited seating available.

Registration for the event is $499 and includes continental breakfast, lunch and reception.
