We had the opportunity to attend the 2019 Symitar® Educational Conference (SEC) & TechConnect on September 16-19th in San Diego, California. This was the first time the Foundation has been invited to attend this event and we were honored as the beneficiary.
What was this event and how is it relevant for credit unions?

The event delved into the ever-evolving technology landscape surrounding the credit union industry, and sessions covered a range of topics – from loan growth to deposit acquisition, and helping members achieve financial success to achieving greater operational efficiency.
This year, the theme was “Future Ready.” The focus was on four major areas: business intelligence, the evolution of digital banking, peer-to-peer payment technology, and non-bank, non-traditional alternatives.
Attendees were inspired by Ben Nemtin, co-founder of MTV’s The Buried Life and this year’s SEC keynote speaker. Throughout the conference, Symitar asked attendees to share items from their bucket list in the hopes of motivating them to find tangible ways to make that bucket list item a reality.
