Tampa, Florida : The 4th Annual Credit Union Data Connect is back and more impactful than ever. This must‑attend credit union conference explores how Data, AI, Marketing, and Analytics drive smarter strategies, building stronger teams, and delivering better member experiences across every department.
CU Data Connect was founded four years ago as an idea by Sankul Seth, a credit union leader with 15 plus years of experience focused on innovative solutions for the credit union industry. The conference was created to do more than talk about technology, it brings real, practical, and achievable scenarios to life, helping credit union professionals understand how technology can shape the future of their organizations.
This year, our focus is on how credit unions can monetize their data investments by becoming AI‑ready. We believe data is the backbone of AI, and without a strong, well‑streamlined data ecosystem, AI solutions cannot deliver meaningful results. By building that foundation, credit unions can drive smarter decisions, simplify experiences for employees, members, and partners, and fuel sustainable growth.
With this vision in mind, we are proud to welcome an exceptional lineup of industry thought leaders:
- David Avrin – Harnessing Data and Technology to Elevate Member Experience
- Twinkle Johnson – From AI Experimentation to Enterprise AI: Empowering Credit Union Leaders to Lead the AI Revolution
- Sankul Seth – Data Lakehouse for Financial Institutions: Turning Insights into Revenue
The event will also feature a curated lineup of engaging sessions and experiences, including:
An Interactive Gen Alpha and Gen Z Panel, delivering firsthand insights into the future expectations, preferences, and experiences younger generations want from credit unions
Credit Union Leadership Panel, The Future of Credit Unions: The Critical Role of Data in Driving AI, exploring how data strategy is fueling AI innovation, operational efficiency, and long‑term success
An impactful session, Empower Your Insights: Shaping the Future of Decision‑Making with Power BI and Copilot, showcasing how modern analytics and AI tools are transforming how credit unions turn insights into action
Networking, live JAZZ Band, a happy hour, and more, creating meaningful opportunities for connection and collaboration
If you are part of a Credit Union, this is the place you want to be. You will hear from top experts in Marketing, Data, and AI who will share insights to help you elevate your work and prepare for the future.
