ORLANDO, Fla.-The best two-and-a-half days in credit unions when it comes to growth strategies is now just two weeks away.
Credit Union Journal's Grow Show will feature nearly two-dozen experts and CU leaders talking sharing a wide range of ideas and approaches for driving growth across the enterprise.
Since announcing the already-packed agenda, Credit Union Journal has added a bonus session on health insurance exchanges as a potential future means of generating new income streams and new members.
Scheduled for May 29-31 at the Ritz Carlton in Orlando (at just $159 a night), the conference opens with an extended afternoon discussion by four experts on effectively competing in the mobile and payments space, including a half-hour of Q&A with attendees.
Full Day of Discussion
The next morning, May 30, kicks off a full day of quick-moving discussions of how successful CUs have grown assets, loans, membership, awareness and much more. The day begins with a session by veteran CU leader John Tippets called "From Toast to Turnaround," and then is followed by CEOs and senior managers from Pioneer West Virgina FCU, University of Iowa Community CU, DFCU Financial CU, WestStar, GTE Financial, Michigan First and MaPS Credit Unions all sharing real-life examples of innovative ideas and strategies from their operations.
The day will also include analysis of lending trends, how one credit union has built a niche serving women, discussion of branding and marketing that works, and will conclude with a popular feature at Grow Show, The Big First Day Q&A in which all the day one speakers come back for an hour of discussion with the audience.
Day Three will send attendees home with even more, including creative ways to get more from small budgets, making loans via Facebook, serving old-fashioned SEGs, and a final session on effectively onboarding new members.
