Spark! Insights and inspiration for the year ahead.
| Register | Event Details |
Inspiration can come from anywhere — at Spark! we are bringing fresh insights inside and outside of the industry with a selection of speakers from our Filene Fellows, leaders outside of the credit union culdesac, and YOU! The credit union system is facing disruption from fintechs, platform providers, and the fragmentation of consumers’ financial lives. Complex problems require collaboration to solve.
There is wisdom in crowds and we are making you part of the agenda. This event is hands-on and designed for you to engage. We will be working with you in co-creation sessions, to identify and deploy the next-generation ideas needed to drive growth and better serve member needs. The result? You’ll leave with your own Spark – new energy, insights and ahas to take back to your teams.
