ST. PAUL, MN (February 7, 2023) — The Credit Union Financial Education Network (CUFEN) will host its 46th annual conference July 23 – 26 at the Hilton Burlington in Burlington, Vermont. This year’s event will focus on new industry trends, technology, professional development, and shifts within the financial education ecosystem. More than 10 speakers will dive into topics through three general and four break-out sessions consisting of three tracts and panel discussions.
Early-bird registration for the 2023 conference is open through March 31 at https://www.cufen.org/conference. The price is $695 per attendee. After March 31, the price increases to $795 per attendee. This covers the cost of the conference only, but special hotel pricing can be secured through the Burlington Hilton at a rate of $299.
Darrell Jensen, an attendee at the 2022 conference, said, “CUFEN is making a difference in our industry and is a great resource for financial literacy initiatives. I left with more knowledge and a deeper passion for financial education than I expected. This conference is the credit union industry’s best-kept secret.”
CUFEN, formerly NYIB, has a long-standing reputation for being the standard in financial literacy among credit union organizations. With a delegate footprint in more than 20 states, financial literacy government advocacy efforts, and an executive committee of tenured industry professionals, the annual CUFEN Conference offers some of the most up-to-date financial education resources.
The CUFEN Conference also invites industry vendors like Banzai and others that offer financial education products to showcase their newest programs and technology, allowing attendees a full scope of new partnership opportunities.
Crystal Price, a 2022 conference attendee from Clark County Credit Union in Las Vegas, expressed that she liked connecting to other industry professionals on a more one-to-one level. “This is one of the best conferences I have ever attended,” Price said.
The mission of CUFEN is to equip the credit union industry to provide financial education opportunities for all ages. Membership for CUFEN is free and open to all credit unions in the United States. As a nonprofit organization, CUFEN is dedicated to being a financial education resource while remaining devoted to helping share the credit union difference.
