#GAC2025: Where CU advocacy takes center stage

Washington Monument on the Reflecting Pool in Washington, DC, USA at dawn.

It's that time again. The 2025 Governmental Affairs Conference (GAC) is back, and if you’re serious about making an impact in the industry, you're probably one of the thousands of credit union professionals who have descended on Washington, D.C., to rally behind the movement and ensure CU voices are heard on Capitol Hill.

This year’s theme is Together We Move — Moving with purpose. Moving with passion. Moving with strength. It’s all about uniting as an industry, pushing forward with purpose, and making real progress for our members and the communities we serve.

What’s in store for GAC 2025?

World-class keynotes: Expect powerhouse speakers who bring insights that will fuel your leadership and advocacy efforts. One standout this year is Coach Mike Krzyzewski (aka Coach K)—the all-time winningest coach in Men's college basketball history—who will be speaking on "Victory Through Teamwork and Leadership". This is a session you won't want to miss.

Hill hikes that matter: This is where the magic happens. You’ll hike the Hill, and talk face-to-face with lawmakers about the issues that shape our industry. Credit unions are making a difference every day—now’s the time to make sure Congress knows it.

The biggest exhibit hall in the industry: Want to see what’s on deck for credit unions? The GAC Exhibit Hall is where you’ll find the latest innovations, tech, and services to help your CU thrive.

Networking like no other: This is where the industry’s best minds come together. You’ll connect with peers, industry leaders, and even some policymakers, sharing ideas and strategies that will shape the future of credit unions.

Ready to make an impact?

GAC isn’t just another conference—it’s THE event where credit union folks from all over the United States come together to make a difference.
