102 Days to Conference
DCG's signature education event for learning and sharing with bank and credit union peers.
The banking industry has come to realize the importance of NOT assuming away the unexpected. Because as Morgan Housel said in his book The Psychology of Money,"Things that never happen... happen all the time."
When we gather in June for our 41st year, we'll focus on challenging how institutions look at themselves and the world around them. Together, we'll address emerging complexities and opportunities impacting liquidity, interest rate, credit, and capital risks – with important implications for your entire balance sheet and model risk strategy.
We look forward to welcoming you in Boston for networking and camaraderie, and to dive into discussions that will spark new ideas and help you navigate the road ahead with confidence.

Hear from Matt about what's in store for attendees at DCG's 2025 Balance Sheet & Model Risk Management Conference.
Data, Data, Data... The Ultimate Confidence Builder for Risk Assessment and Strategic Balance Sheet Management
A Special Pre-Conference Workshop hosted by DCG President & CEO Matt Pieniazek
Join Darling Consulting Group President & CEO Matt Pieniazek and senior members of the DCG team for an engaging and transformative workshop. Together, we’ll explore how your institution’s approach to customer data can become the critical factor that either propels or constrains your success.
With insights drawn from DCG’s extensive repository of real-life case studies and proprietary deposit and loan data sets, this session will empower you to enhance confidence in your institution’s balance sheet risk assessment processes and strategy development. While this is critically important on its own, it is also imperative that your institution be able to “tell its story” to a regulatory community that is more keenly focused on balance sheet risk management than perhaps ever before.
The workshop is included in the conference fee, and is intended for institutions at all stages of their customer data journey.
