CU Journal Announces Grow Show Special Offer
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.-The Credit Union Journal has unveiled anther big reason to make sure you don't miss Grow Show by announcing it will include one night's hotel room cost in the already low registration fee. For a limited time, the next 20 registrants for the conference will be offered one night at the Hotel del Coronado in San Diego as part of their registration.
"Feedback from credit unions about the speakers, the agenda and the desire to be a part of Grow Show has always been overwhelmingly positive," said Credit Union Journal Publisher Frank J. Diekmann. "The only issue in 2009, on which Credit Union Journal has led the way in reporting, is concern over expenses given the current environment. Our decision to include a night's hotel in the registration fee should sharply cut expenses and allow everyone interested to participate in Grow Show, the only conference dedicated to growth strategies."
Grow Show is scheduled for April 27-29 and includes more than a dozen sessions on all aspects of growing membership, loans, savings and other programs, along with discussion of driving innovation, managing expenses, and much more.
Past attendees and new credit unions that have expressed interest in attending Grow Show should note that the room block at the historic, oceanfront Hotel del Coronado is limited, meaning registrants who wish to take advantage of having the room rate included in their registration should act quickly.
