PBC Conference 2025 Welcomes Fiserv as Title Sponsor and Unveils New Certification

The PBC Conference 2025: Industry Advancement in Cannabis Banking

The sixth edition of the PBC Conference is set to take place on September 3-4, 2025, in the heart of Washington, D.C. This premier gathering targets professionals in cannabis banking and compliance, drawing attention from government and industry leaders alike. Over the years, the conference has garnered acclaim for addressing pivotal challenges in the cannabis sector, making it an essential rendezvous for those invested in the industry's future.

One of the most exciting announcements for this year's event is the partnership with Fiserv, a globally recognized powerhouse in payments and financial technology. Fiserv's association as the official Title Sponsor of the conference not only underscores their commitment to enhancing the cannabis banking landscape but also brings their innovative perspectives and technological expertise to the forefront for conference attendees.

Joshua Radbod, the CEO of PBC Conference, expressed his enthusiasm: "PBC Conference remains the premier gathering where influential voices come together to drive progress and shape the future of the cannabis banking industry. We are proud to welcome Fiserv as our Title Sponsor and excited to unveil programming that reflects the momentum of this evolving sector."

This year's agenda promises to be comprehensive, featuring discussions that include insights from notable figures such as state cannabis regulators, IRS commissioners, U.S. Senators, and prominent financial leaders. The intersection of regulatory policy and banking mechanisms within the cannabis domain will be a key focus area, as the industry seeks to navigate its myriad complexities and seize new opportunities.

In addition to the sponsorship announcement, the PBC has introduced the PBC Certified Professional (PBC-CP) designation, marking the pinnacle of achievement in cannabis banking and compliance certification. This credential is designed to recognize individuals who exemplify deep expertise and leadership in this specialized field. To attain the PBC-CP, candidates must first navigate through Levels I and II of the PBC Certification Program, actively participate in PBC Conferences, and publish a peer-reviewed use case that addresses real-world challenges.

This rigorous pathway ensures that only the most qualified and dedicated professionals earn the PBC-CP designation, which not only enhances individual qualifications but also elevates the standards of the industry as a whole. In a progressive move, the PBC is also planning to expand its certification offerings with a new PBC Certified Organization designation, aimed at recognizing institutions that uphold exceptional standards of compliance, innovation, and industry leadership.

As the cannabis industry evolves, staying equipped with the latest knowledge and regulatory insights is imperative for banking professionals. The PBC Conference 2025, supported by Fiserv, is uniquely positioned to address these needs. Experts and professionals from all spectra of the cannabis banking industry are encouraged to register and engage in meaningful dialogue aimed at shaping the future of the sector.
