Olsen Palmer Banking and M&A Symposium

The Hermitage Hotel | Nashville, TN

September 28–29, 2026

The Olsen Palmer Banking and M&A Symposium, hosted at the historic Hermitage Hotel, is an invitation-only gathering of select community bank executives, directors, and industry leaders looking for insights into current bank M&A trends, valuations, value drivers, and broader banking trends. The program will feature proprietary content on the forces shaping the bank M&A landscape, along with meaningful engagement between and among attendees in a highly curated setting.

Drawing on our expertise as the #1 sell-side bank M&A advisor, [1] we have designed the symposium for executives and directors seeking targeted perspectives across the M&A spectrum, whether as a potential seller, a would-be acquiror, or simply those seeking a clearer perspective on current market dynamics, bank valuation, and key trends at play in the banking industry.
