About the event

What was the Michigan Bankers Association Annual Convention?

The Michigan Bankers Association Annual Convention is the state banking community's flagship gathering. The 140th edition took place June 17–19, 2026 at the historic Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island. For more than a century this convention has been the premier place for Michigan banking leaders to connect, compare notes, and chart what is next.

The format is built around relationships: general sessions, the welcome picnic and ice cream social, evening receptions, the Bodman reception at the Mackinac Island Yacht Club, and the closing breakfast. It is the people Michigan banks actually send to set strategy and make technology and lending decisions, in one place for three days.

Aloan was on-site for the full convention for private 1:1 working sessions. If you run lending, credit, or operations at a Michigan community or regional bank, the next event is the place to bring a real commercial deal packet (tax returns, financials, bank statements) and watch our AI commercial loan underwriting platform run on your own files.

Hotel: Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island is the convention venue and host hotel. Reserve lodging through the official MBA convention site after you register — island rooms book up early during convention week.

On-Site at Grand Hotel

We spent the three days around Grand Hotel and the convention's general sessions, the welcome picnic and reception, and the Bodman reception at the Mackinac Island Yacht Club.

What we showed in our 1:1 sessions

End-to-end AI commercial loan underwriting on your file mix

Attendees brought a real commercial loan packet (tax returns, financials, bank statements) and our team ran it through Aloan in the 1:1 working session. The walk-through covered:

01

Document intake and classification

Tax returns, bank statements, financials, rent rolls, K-1s. Aloan tagged each by type, year, and entity.
02

Spreading with source citations

Every number clicked back to the exact page. That's the audit trail SR 11-7 and OCC 2025-26 examiners now expect.
03

Multi-entity consolidation, global cash flow

K-1 tracing, Schedule E reconciliation, entity graph and global cash flow rollup. No Excel handoff.
04

Risk flags and policy checks

Revenue trend inversions, NSFs, UCC liens, covenant breaches, concentration risks, policy exceptions.
05

Examiner-ready credit memo

Borrower overview, financial analysis, risk factors, mitigants, recommendation. Every figure cites back to source. LOS hand-off, not re-keying.
