Past Conferences
Prior to 2005, World Council of Credit Unions held two meetings — the Leadership Institute and the Credit Union Forum. Though successful, World Council felt it could provide educational and networking opportunities to more credit union leaders by offering one, premier international conference each year. In 2005, the World Credit Union Conference was born.
The World Credit Union Conference continues to be a much-anticipated event, bringing together credit union leaders and decision makers from the largest credit unions around the globe for four exciting days of networking and educational sessions.
