CU Data Connect began four years ago with a simple but powerful vision: empower credit unions to harness technology, data, and analytics at a time when innovation was becoming increasingly expensive. What started as a small collaborative effort has grown into a vibrant, growing community united by shared challenges, shared insights, and a shared commitment to progress.
Our first conference brought together just 10 credit unions in a room full of ideas, questions, and excitement. It was more than an event, it was the beginning of a movement. Each year, our community has expanded, welcoming new members, sparking innovative discussions, and forming connections that last long after the conference ends. By 2025, we proudly hosted 50 credit unions, reflecting not only our growth but the growing need for collaboration in a rapidly evolving industry.
CU Data Connect is more than conferences and sessions. It is a place where credit unions come together to learn, experiment, and inspire each other. It is a space where challenges are shared openly, solutions are discovered collectively, and every participant leaves with actionable insights that drive their organization forward.
In 2026, we are thrilled to bring the 4th Annual CU Data Connect Conference to Tampa. We are coming with a big bang, ready to spark even bigger conversations, uncover fresh ideas, and provide opportunities for meaningful connections. Our journey is just beginning, and we invite you to be part of it.
In addition to informative sessions, CU Data Connect provides ample networking opportunities for attendees to connect with like-minded professionals. Our events are designed to foster meaningful connections that can lead to valuable partnerships.
