Welcome Home to the Warmth and Southern Hospitality of Georgia
Homecomings are a wonderful reason to celebrate. Our return to The Cloister at Sea Island – we were there last for our 2021 Annual Meeting – will remind us of the values instilled in us from childhood: warmth, openness and genuine southern hospitality.
This homecoming will also bring us back to the ideals Georgia bankers hold dear: cultivating and deepening relationships, building new bonds with attendees new to the Annual Meeting, strengthening professional knowledge, welcoming new perspectives and challenging themselves to be the best they can be.
As always, there will be exceptional industry education sessions, productive time with your fellow bankers and Associate Member exhibitors. We'll also elect new officers and install our new board members who will shape the future of our 134-year-old association.
We invite you to join us as we gather at The Cloister, the most special of places, June 7-9, 2026. Elegant, playful, southern, home.

World-class Destination
From crossing the bridge to stepping through the front door. First, you feel the warm, salt-tinged breezes. Next, a welcoming smile with heart and soul. A private island. Fifty lush acres. Surrounded by the river, salt marshes, and the sea. Elegant and playful.
Welcome to The Cloister.
