Day 1: A Record-Breaking Return to Jack Henry™ Connect!

Welcome to Jack Henry Connect 2025 – and welcome back to sunny San Diego! 🌴

We’re thrilled to have a record number of attendees and exhibitors joining us this year. The buzz at the San Diego Convention Center is already electric, and the next few days are packed with opportunities to learn, connect, and be inspired. It’s already shaping up to be a fantastic week!

Today features the return of our emcee, Mark Jeffries, followed by an insightful opening keynote from Kate O’Neill. The author of Tech Humanist, Kate has a vision for a global transformation of technology that puts human experience at the center, a reminder that our purpose should always be to serve accountholders in meaningful ways.

Setting the Stage with Vision and Innovation

The day also includes a timely Main Stage session on the transformative potential of generative AI across the financial services sector.

Jack Henry’s Chief Data Officer, Keith Fulton, will highlight how AI is poised to be as revolutionary as historical innovations like the steam engine or the iPhone – outlining strategic considerations for financial institutions, emphasizing the importance of embedding AI in products and using it to enhance service and growth.

The key takeaway: you can streamline operations with AI – without mass layoffs.

Coming Up this Evening

After some incredible sessions, this day will still be just getting started. Tonight’s Welcome Reception at Bayfront Park is the perfect chance to relax, network, and enjoy the beautiful San Diego evening.
