“I’ve attended hundreds of conferences and organized another 20, but I wanted to put together something that forced credit union executives to think,” said Geoff Bacino of Bacino & Associates, in a statement. “My goal is that each attendee leaves the conference and is mad about at least one topic. That way, we have started the conversation.”

According to Bacino, to keep the pace moving, each session will be limited to 30 minutes. “We should be able to get the point across in the same time as a Seinfeld episode,” he added.
“We’re excited to play host to an event we can really be passionate about, driving content that can hopefully stir up some positive change in the credit union industry,” added Ben Mrva, SRM executive vice president, in a statement. “The format of our discussions are sure to be lively and real, unembellished and honest. We want attendees to walk away feeling informed, empowered and aligned with their peers.”
