2024 NDBA/SDBA
Inspiring Possibility.
Together.
The banking industry’s connection, commitment,
and sense of community is LIMITLESS. This was the
theme of the 2024 NDBA/SDBA Annual Convention,
held June 3-5 in Fargo.
Over 300 North Dakota and South Dakota bankers,
business partners, and guests gathered to build
relationships and experience much of what Fargo
has to offer. The dynamic convention informed,
inspired, and provided plenty of fun!
Brewhalla, a food and entertainment wonderland,
hosted the “Welcome to Fargo” party Monday night.
Tuesday morning, convention attendees enjoyed
a coffee-house style breakfast in the exhibit hall
before taking part in the Destination Downtown
Fargo Tour or the BankPAC golf tournament, which
was relocated to Suite Shots due to wet conditions.
