Our mission to strengthen community financial institutions means sharing valuable information in ways that work for our customers. In response to the particular stresses placed on FIs during the COVID-19 pandemic, Q2 has reimagined CONNECT 20 as a series of virtual events taking place on a digital platform. Much like FIs and their account holders, we'd always prefer to meet in person, but we're grateful to have this opportunity to share essential industry information in this time when our mission is more important than ever.
By presenting CONNECT 20 in a digital format, we aim to provide FIs with the current industry information they have come to rely on in a way that takes their increasingly crowded calendars into account. And because relevant information is just one valuable aspect of our annual client conference, we have also taken care to create safe and secure opportunities for attendees to network with colleagues and industry leaders, experience Q2 product demos, and access helpful resources—all in the digital channel.
Today marks the second in the four-part CONNECT 20 series of events and focuses on Q2's technology strategy, digital customer onboarding, and the Q2 Marketplace. With two more free events and an array of sessions scheduled for CONNECT 20, we hope you'll register and join us.
Because of the reduced costs associated with shifting from an in-person event to a virtual event, Q2 will be making a $25,000 donation to a COVID-19 pandemic relief organization. If you would like to join these efforts, you can do so during registration, or by modifying your registration if you have already completed the process. If you have questions about this or any other CONNECT 20 topics, please email Q2CONNECT@q2ebanking.com.
