Day 2 of Jack Henry™ Connect is Off to a Rousing Start!
Last night’s Carnival Kickoff was a huge hit, offering a perfect blend of fun and networking. From the bumper cars to the rock-climbing wall to carnival games, attendees got a chance to relax and connect after a full day of learning. While the fun and games were fan favorites, the food and drinks were just as memorable.
“I hope you’ll continue to see the advancement of where we are today versus where we were at this point last year. The level of execution, the level of focus on AI, and what we’ve done with our product set... That level of advancement compared to what the rest of the industry is doing.” - Greg Adelson, President and CEO, Jack Henry
Today has been all about diving deep into what’s next for the financial services industry.
One of the biggest highlights was the Jack Henry Platform™ update, where key advancements about the future of fintech were discussed. Our platform modernization continues to evolve, offering even more innovative solutions for financial institutions.
“We’re trying our best to do a great job for you, but we’re also hyper-focused on your customers and members. Because that’s what we think is part of the future of financial services and really the now of financial services. Our mission with this platform is to improve the overall digital front door, elevating the experience for both you and your accountholders.” - Mackenzie Kizer, Senior Managing Director, Jack Henry
“The teams that we’ve built are really working closely with a lot of you in how you use our products today – and what features and functions are most important. Some of our collaborative product teams came out of our SilverLake group. Some came out of our Symitar® team. So we’re really thinking about things in parallel with what we have today and then what we’re building for you. That’s our North Star.” - Julie Morlan, Senior Managing Director, Jack Henry
Attendees were excited to get this breaking news firsthand, straight from the source, at Jack Henry Connect, and left the session energized and excited about how these updates can transform their organizations.
We’re also eagerly awaiting the official announcement later in the day of the first-ever Jack Henry Cobalt Award winners.
This ceremony will honor the true innovators – those pushing the envelope in financial services and making a real impact in their communities. The awards will be followed by a panel discussion with the winners, giving us a chance to hear directly from the changemakers themselves. We’ll recap who took home some super-sleek inaugural hardware in tomorrow’s blog!
The Tech Hall officially opened today, and it’s a must-visit for anyone interested in the latest fintech solutions. With over 200 exhibitors, you’re bound to discover some new tools that could transform your organization. And don’t forget the LEGO® Station, where you can get creative with live, interactive builds!

Tonight’s Tech Hall Reception promises to be another highlight of the week, and it will be followed by Trivia Night sponsored by Google – make sure to bring your competitive spirit!
Tomorrow, we’ll have more sessions, networking opportunities, and updates on the live LEGO® build and the Stand Up to Cancer Reflection Wall. There’s still so much more to come!
