Connect, Create, and Celebrate: Why Jack Henry Connect Is the Must-Attend Event of 2024

"Technology is nothing."

So said Steve Jobs. In his 1994 interview with The Rolling Stone, Jobs went on to explain, "What's important is that you have faith in people, that they're basically good and smart - and if you give them tools, they'll do wonderful things with them."

There's no way Jobs could have known then - 30 years ago - just how right he would be today.

In a world where AI is evolving at the speed of thought (seemingly, if not literally, anyway), we need to remember the sentiment of Steve Jobs: it's not the machines themselves that matter most. It's the human creativity, compassion, and connection behind them. It's the way we use the machines.

At this year's Jack Henry™ Connect, you'll discover how this balance between technology and humanity is not just a concept. It's a reality we live every day.

Here's a sneak peek of what awaits attendees at the must-attend event of 2024, which will deliver a unique blend of inspiration, innovation, and fun …

Meaningful Connections

This isn't just another networking event.

At Jack Henry Connect, connections happen naturally - whether it's during sessions, at Connection Corners, or - this year - over friendly competition on the putting green. Participate in engaging activities that embody the essence of human interaction, and you might just find your next big idea (while having a blast).

World-Class Speakers

Imagine walking away from a conference not just informed, but truly inspired.

That's what you can expect with our lineup of keynote speakers. Mark Jeffries, the renowned communications consultant, will guide you through the week as our emcee. Duncan Wardle, Disney's former Head of Innovation and Creativity, will show you how to think differently to create a winning culture. And don't miss Shaun Boothe's unique keynote-a hip-hop performance that weaves together biographies and stories like nothing you've seen before.

Creativity, Unleashed

Who said conferences can't be playful?

Dive into our LEGO^® Experience where you can create your own mini-figure and watch it come to life in our interactive build. It's not just about having fun; it's about reminding ourselves that creativity is at the heart of innovation. While you're at it, look for the fun backdrops around the conference to capture the moment and share photos on social media as a way to remember the connections and experiences you've made.
