Credit Union Spotlight
Back by popular demand, the Credit Union Spotlight session returns this September. This exclusive session offers:
- Dedicated networking time for credit union executives
- Opportunity to share experiences with industry peers
- Direct access to tech innovators with credit union-specific solutions
While the main Finovate stage will feature 60+ demos, we've carefully selected a small group of companies with solutions uniquely relevant to credit unions for this focused session.
Important: Due to limited space and high demand, Spotlight attendance will be confirmed on a first-come, first-served basis.
