Here’s a Look at the Top 5 Credit Union Conferences to Close Out 2022

As summer winds down and we look ahead to Q4, there is still an incredible amount of value that credit union professionals can gain by attending the CU conferences being held the rest of the year.

Brianna Vaughan, Extensia’s EVP Operations, points out how inspiring and worthwhile these professional development events can be, stating, “Credit Union employees can really gain a lot from attending major credit union conferences. They provide an invaluable experience to learn up-and-coming trends in the industry, hear from keynote speakers and network with other credit union professionals across the country. It’s really hard to replicate the energy of these events anywhere else.”

Here are some of our top picks in terms of credit union conferences being held the rest of 2022. 

ACUMA Conference

The upcoming ACUMA Conference will be held in Las Vegas, NV, at the Cosmopolitan Hotel September 18-21.
