It’s that time of year again … time to update your business attire wardrobe, replace that cracked suitcase and start mapping out your 2025 work travel calendar. Credit unions, credit union trade associations, CUSOs, leagues and third-party service providers are busy putting together more than 75 conferences and events for next year, and while you can’t attend them all, we hope this list helps you with your 2025 planning. (And if you do somehow manage to attend them all, please let us know so we can do a story about how that went for you.)
This year, CU Times decided to organize our conference listing a little differently. Instead of organizing them alphabetically by the hosting organization’s name, we have organized them by date, starting with January 2025. We hope this helps you navigate the listing more easily, and we welcome your feedback on the format.
Below you’ll find a rundown of what’s on the credit union conference agenda so far in 2025, along with links to conference registration pages when available. CU Times will continue to update this list as we become aware of new information.
