TAMPA, FL (February 22, 2013) – Card Services for Credit Unions (CSCU) will host credit union professionals at its 2013 Solutions Conference, April 24–28 at the Renaissance Vinoy Resort & Golf Club in St. Petersburg, Fla. The theme, Spotlight: Payments, will be explored through topics including: planning and preparing for EMV and the future of mobile payments; building a more profitable card program through strategic planning; increasing ROA and operational efficiencies; and adapting and succeeding in today’s evolving marketplace.
Attendees will hear from successful credit union executives and a panel of dynamic industry experts, as well as motivational keynote speakers, Ken Schmidt, brand visionary and communications specialist for Harley-Davidson Motor Company, and Eric LeGrand, inspirational collegiate athlete whose life-changing experience left him paralyzed. In addition, industry leaders will share expertise in breakout sessions addressing: member segmentation, mobile payments, interchange strategies, credit/debit card portfolio growth, fraud prevention, and innovation and the future of credit unions.
“The goal for each annual conference is to give our members real-life take-home value they can implement to grow their credit union,” said Robert Hackney, president of CSCU. “This year we’ll focus on incorporating payments solutions to benefit both the credit union and its members, as well as taking full advantage of the opportunities presented by our evolving industry.”
CSCU will soon announce the winners of its annual CAMEO awards, which recognize and reward member credit unions that developed the most innovative and resourceful marketing campaigns of the year. Winners receive registration waivers and travel funds to attend the conference, where they have the opportunity to network and learn industry best practices from other credit unions’ successful marketing campaigns.
