As for credit unions on the scene, Catalyst and Corporate One both had executives in the speaker lineup, and a handful of natural person credit unions were on the scene, including the $2.1 billion, Basking Ridge N.J.-based Affinity FCU in New Jersey, the $72 million Livonia, Mich.-based Catholic Vantage Financial and the $2.3 billion Fairborn, Ohio-based Wright-Patt.
