The COVID-19 pandemic is now in its fourth year, but like the majority of industries in the U.S., the credit union industry has largely moved on from planning virtual events, although the hybrid-attendance model appears to be sticking around.
With the exception of a few virtual events, the 2023 credit union conference line-up looks similar to how it did in 2019. Here's a rundown of what's been planned so far for the year, in alphabetical order by group name, along with links to conference registration pages when available.
