CU Times has once again scoured the internet to bring credit union industry professionals a comprehensive listing of conferences and events to fill their 2024 calendars. With the COVID-19 pandemic in the rearview mirror, the world of credit union conferences has settled back into its business-as-usual routine, with the exception of several hybrid events that seem to be a permanent fixture in our post-pandemic era.

The biggest adjustment to this list compared to our 2023 compilation concerns the approved CUNA-NAFCU merger. Events set to be hosted by CUNA and NAFCU are now listed under the heading America’s Credit Unions, the name of the newly combined trade organizations.

Here’s a rundown of what’s on the credit union conference agenda so far in 2024, in alphabetical order by group name, along with links to conference registration pages when available. CU Times will continue to update this list as we become aware of new information.
