DALLAS–A popular conference that had been postponed once due to the coronavirus has now been cancelled again.
CO-OP Financial Services said it has cancelled its THINK20 Conference, which had been rescheduled for Aug. 18-20, due to the coronavirus pandemic. The meeting had originally been set to be held in the same location in May.
The company cited the “continued uncertainty of near-future travel and an unwavering focus on the health and safety of our credit union partners and staff,” in making the announcement.
“Instead, we will be shifting and expanding our remaining 2020 event calendar to produce a series of THINK virtual events designed around your credit union, your role, and your members’ most pressing needs. These events will be offered free of charge, with a full schedule to be announced in the coming weeks,” CO-OP said.

- THINK Forums: Virtual broadcasts designed to address pressing CU challenges and opportunities featuring world-renowned guest speakers from outside the industry (90 minutes each)
