Description

Industry Leaders Forum – Finance & Insurance

Wednesday, September 30, 2026
8:00 – 10:00 AM

Buffalo Niagara Partnership
79 Perry St., Ste. 200
Buffalo, NY 14203

Access to capital and a strong banking environment are critical to the success and growth of businesses across every industry.

Join the Buffalo Niagara Partnership's Industry Leaders Forum – Finance & Insurance for a timely, interactive discussion on the state of business banking and the financial trends shaping decisions for employers across Buffalo Niagara.

Led by Merrill Lynch , the conversation will explore today's business banking environment, including access to capital, lending conditions, interest rates, business investment and the factors influencing how companies are approaching growth and financial planning.

Rather than a traditional presentation, this session will center on group discussion and peer-to-peer dialogue, giving Industry Leaders Forum members the opportunity to share what they are experiencing within their own organizations, ask questions and discuss the financial challenges and opportunities impacting businesses throughout our region.

From financing expansion and managing costs to investing in new technology, facilities and people, the availability and cost of capital can have a significant impact on a company's ability to grow. This discussion will provide perspective on the current banking landscape while exploring what businesses should be watching as they plan for the future.

Please join us for networking beginning at 8:00 AM.
