FREE online Discovery Conference: learn alongside top CU leaders

CUNA Mutual Group's FREE online Discovery Conference Oct. 9 has thought-provoking and practical information to help every credit union develop strategies for growing income, implementing technology, expanding member service and more. The experience is geared for credit unions' top leaders, but because anyone can participate, it's a great development opportunity for all employees and directors. You'll also have an opportunity to network and exchange ideas with other attendees, as well as win fabulous prizes.

You’ll attend from the convenience of your computer. Participants can come and go throughout the day as their schedules allow, and there is no limit on the number of employees that can register. Each must register separately, however, in order to attend the individual sessions they want, network with other attendees independently, and enter to win prizes.

"The beauty of Online Discovery is the convenience," said Jim Buchheim, vice president, Corporate Communications for CUNA Mutual Group. "We've evolved the online learning experience of the conference to create an even better fit for our credit unions – all the while, keeping it free for everyone."

This year CUNA Mutual Group is adding full video and audio experiences for every session in the online conference. "We discovered that people prefer watching presentations rather than just listening," said Buchheim. "Videos of every session and the keynote speaker's presentation will be on your computer screen for you to see and hear."

A packed schedule is planned, and you'll be able to access the sessions even after the Conference ends – through June 28, 2013 – as long as you've registered.
