CU Unplugged

Welcome to the Credit Union Industry’s first Unconference

CU Unplugged is where the credit union movement comes together to break the mold. No keynotes. No scripts. Just bold thinkers creating the future of financial services—live and in real time.

CU Unplugged is an innovation-focused, participant-powered summit for credit union executives, technologists, and innovators.

It’s authentic, forward-thinking, and unscripted—built for those who want to move beyond presentations and into purposeful conversations that spark change.

The Unconference Experience

You set the agenda

Attendees decide the topics that matter most—from AI governance and cybersecurity to member experience, payments, and digital strategy.

No spectators

This is a working session, not a lecture. Bring your ideas, your challenges, and your curiosity.

Innovation in action

AI-powered scribing captures every discussion so no insight is lost, even from sessions you can’t attend.

Authentic connections

The conversations are candid, collaborative, and designed to build lasting partnerships.

How it works

An unconference works because the people in the room drive it. Together, we co-create the agenda, the energy, and the outcomes.
Build the Agenda Together

Attendees co-create the session board in real time—no pre-selected topics, no scripts.

Choose Your Conversations

Move freely between sessions. Follow the ideas that matter most to you.

Ideas Captured Automatically

Every breakout is summarized with AI-powered notes so no insights are missed.

Keep the Momentum Going

Evening meetups and informal gatherings continue the collaboration.

The Conversations That Move Credit Unions Forward

From AI to member experience, the themes at CU Unplugged come straight from the industry itself. Every topic is attendee-driven, ensuring the conversations are relevant, creative, and forward-looking.
