The Federation’s conference is the largest gathering of credit unions with a mission of financial inclusion in the country, with plenaries and sessions that focus on innovative products and services for empowering low-income consumers. Our conference brings together thought leaders, policymakers, researchers and practitioners in the fields of financial empowerment and community development. In 2018, our focus will be on the strategic, technological and operational solutions that are successfully expanding financial access to unbanked and underbanked consumers seeking financial independence. This year we meet in beautiful Clearwater, Florida.
