Overview

Elevating leadership through insight, strategy, and connection

CEO Council Conference is the ultimate opportunity for credit union executives to connect, exchange insights, and engage in candid discussions about the forces shaping financial services. Designed exclusively by and for credit union CEOs, this event brings together leaders from institutions ranging from tens of millions to multi-billions in assets.

Attendees will engage with thought leaders from both inside and outside the industry, gaining strategic perspectives on economic pressures, regulatory shifts, technological advancements, and leadership priorities. Discussions focus on relevant issues, idea generation, and problem-solving, leveraging the collective expertise of peers.

This is a space to step away from daily demands and engage in meaningful conversations that inform high-level decision-making. If you are looking to sharpen your strategy, expand your network, and refine your approach to navigating change, CEO Council Conference is designed for you. 

Who should attend

Designed for credit unions of all sizes, this conference is built for CEOs leading institutions that are growing, adapting, and positioning themselves for long-term success. 

Schedule

Stay tuned! The final schedule will be shared closer to the event. In the meantime, explore last year’s schedule to see the types of sessions and discussions you can look forward to.
