The conference opened with keynote speaker, Jack Mackey, an expert on building customer loyalty. Celebrity Richard Kiel, the 7-foot, 2-inch actor best known for his role as "Jaws" in the James Bond movies The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker, also spoke about his long career in film, his family and being an author.

Many DCI bankers were featured speakers for workshops addressing current topics such as merchant and remote capture, risk management, disaster planning, mergers and acquisitions, biometrics and the profitable use of iCore`s alternate GL and guidance line features.

"The DCI culture is one of community and collaboration to help all our bankers stay ahead and succeed," said John Jones, president and CEO of DCI. "The conference supports that culture with three days of face-to-face interaction between the bankers and DCI executives, technicians and partners."

Attendees were treated to demonstrations and training classes on the latest DCI solutions, including iCore, BSA compliance, Proof21 teller capture, enhanced profitability and online Inter@ct tools for statements and check fraud prevention, among others. Other workshops and panel discussions addressed industry trends such as current regulatory issues, high yield checking accounts, the transformation of check clearing, the power of document imaging, contingency planning and security and privacy issues.

In addition to the annual conference, DCI conducts several user group meetings during the year to collaborate with customers on new developments and innovations.

"Many DCI innovations and enhancements come from the close involvement and dialogue we have with our customers," added Jones. "We`re encouraged by another year of record attendance as a sign that the conference is still an enjoyable and valuable event for DCI bankers."
