What’s in sight at nSight 2025: 5 insider tips to make it count

Associate Principal Consultant

Every year, nSight is the can't-miss event for financial institutions ready to accelerate transformation, connect with industry peers, and get the inside scoop on what’s next from nCino. With 2025’s event just around the corner, there’s a lot to be excited about! Product deep dives, hands-on workshops, leadership insights, and an energized community that makes the nCino ecosystem what it is.

Whether it’s your first or fifth time attending, here are five ways to make the most of your experience, from someone who’s been in the community for six years and counting, and still learns something new every time.

Tip 1: Prioritize people over powerpoints

If there’s one thing I’ve learned after attending nSight year after year, it’s this: some of the best takeaways don’t come from the stage, they come from the hallway.

That impromptu brainstorm at the Community Lounge. A conversation with a product manager at the Pod Sessions. Swapping success (and failure) stories over a cup of coffee. These are the moments that stick with you and often have the biggest impact when you get back to your desk.

This year’s event is loaded with role-based meetups, asset-size-specific sessions, and themed roundtables, making it easier than ever to find your people. I’m especially looking forward to the Admins & Product Owners Meetup, and the FIs $10B–$100B Meetup, great spaces to share tactical insights and hear what’s working in real-time.

Pro tip: Download the nSight app before the event so you’ll have everything you need to navigate nSight like a pro.

Tip 2: Plug into the community

As a six-year nCino Community Champion, I’ve seen how powerful this community can be when we show up for each other.

The Community Champions program recognizes users who share their expertise and genuinely want to help others get the most from the platform. That energy is on full display at nSight.

If you’ve ever posted in the Community or attended Office Hours, imagine that, but IRL. Whether you’re a first-time attendee or a platform veteran, don’t miss the opportunity to connect face-to-face with other champions, admins, power users, and product experts who are solving the same challenges you are.

Tip 3: Embrace AI—on your own terms

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room: AI. It’s everywhere, and it can feel overwhelming. But at nSight this year, I’m seeing a thoughtful shift.

nCino is focusing on practical AI use cases rooted in the actual needs of financial institutions: security, compliance, and efficiency. If you’re still AI-curious but not AI-committed, this is the time to dig in.

Personally, I’m looking forward to:

“Eating the Elephant: Taking a Bite Out of AI Governance” (because governance is the #1 concern I hear from FIs)
“Smart Banking, Smarter Decisions” (for actionable use of analytics in day-to-day ops)

With 24+ sessions covering AI, Data & Analytics, there’s something for every comfort level, and real guidance to help you figure out where to start (or scale). Start exploring the agenda now so you can prioritize the sessions that will move the needle for your team.

Tip 4: Level up with best practices

At Zennify, I work with clients who are returning to the nCino gold standard after years of customizations and workarounds. nSight is where I point them to reset and reframe what “good” looks like.

This year, keep an eye out for sessions covering:

Priority Manager & Smart Checklist (these are game-changers for workflow automation)
Commercial Pricing & Profitability
Deal Proposal
Automated Spreads
And Portfolio Analytics, especially if your team is hesitant to bring in new tools like AI.

Pro Tip: Before the event, identify three challenges or gaps in your current processes. Use that lens to guide your session choices and conversations. It makes your time at nSight way more focused, and makes follow-through easier when you're back at your desk.

Tip 5: Join the right conversations (like the Offsite @ nSight Happy Hour!)

Let’s be honest, some of the best ideas and intros happen off the agenda. That’s why I’m especially excited for the 3rd Annual Offsite @ nSight Happy Hour, hosted by Zennify, Salesforce, and RelPro.

Join us on May 20th for craft cocktails, great food, and real conversation with folks across the financial services ecosystem. You’ll leave with insights, a few laughs, and maybe even a few new LinkedIn connections.

Your best nSight yet starts with a plan

There’s a lot to take in at nSight, and it’s easy to get overwhelmed without a plan. If you’re not sure which sessions to prioritize, which meetups to join, or how to make the most of it all.
