CUbroadcast Studio Lounge interviews at
CUES CEO/Executive Team Network in Las Vegas ...

Our CUbroadcast Studio Lounge headed to Las Vegas, Nevada, for the CUES 2017 CEO/Executive Team Network, that took place at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas October 10-12, 2017. Once there, we interviewed expert presenters, industry innovators, game changers, and CUES' current crop of CUES Next Top Credit Union Exec competition finalists.

It was a jolly good time and we came away with some fantastic and very useful content. Choose and watch your interview below.

And a special thank you to our mighty fine Studio Lounge sponsor, Affinion Group, for supporting our time in Las Vegas -- as well as our great hosts at CUES.  As a thank you, be sure to check them out when you get a chance.

​And a new tradition we are starting this year: For every Studio Lounge interview we conduct, we will donate $10 to Credit Unions for Kids to help Children's Miracle Network Hospitals nationwide. So sign up -- the kids win, too!
