As we gear up for spring, it's like the ultimate jam session is about to start. Longer days and warmer temperatures set the perfect stage for us to rock out.
Christopher Morley captured this energy, saying, “April prepares her green traffic light and the world thinks, ‘Go!’” It's like the band’s ready to hit the first note, and we’re all in sync, charged up for what’s ahead.
Robin Williams took a more playful approach, reminding us that “Spring is nature's way of saying 'Let's party!'" It's like the ultimate backstage pass to nature’s concert, inviting us all to crank up the volume and jam out to the rhythm of a fresh start.

This year we’re also doubling our optional preconference workshop offerings! Last year’s workshop sold out quickly, and registration is required in advance. Consider gaining even more knowledge (and 3.3 AAP/APRP credits) by attending one of the following workshops:
- Preparing for New ACH Origination Fraud Monitoring and Mitigation Rules will take a deep dive into the ACH Origination process, the new 2026 ACH Rules and best practices.
- Navigating Reg E dives into how Regulation E affects ACH and debit card payment systems and evaluates best practices.

There’s something for everyone at our annual conference. We hope to see you there this April! Just check out all the fun we had at our fall conference last year:
But don’t just take our word for it, here’s what some of our members who previously attended had to say:
|
"This was my first time attending and I was
super pleased with all the sessions I attended.
Lots learned and lots to take back!"
|
My favorite thing? The coffee! On a serious
note, I really enjoy the EPCOR conference
as a whole. We learn so much and it's great
to not be in the office for a few days."
|
"A lot of information, but good information. It was
very packed room, but I see that as a compliment
to Trevor and shows how important ACH Rules are.
Nice to know what is coming in the near future!"
