CUbroadcast Studio Lounge interviews at
NACUSO Network Conference
​April 14-17, 2019, San Diego, CA ...

Our CUbroadcast Studio Lounge headed down the freeway to downtown San Diego  to cover the 2019 NACUSO Network Conference. At this very entrepreneurial and collaborative gathering, we interviewed expert presenters, attendees, vendors, and, of course, the gracious hosts from NACUSO -- all brought to you by our mighty fine sponsors: PSCU, Trellance, CU Rise, and CULedger.

A special thank you, again, to our stellar Studio Lounge sponsors PSCU , Trellance, CU Rise, and CULedger -- as well as our hosts NACUSO -- for supporting our coverage at this year's conference. As a thank you, be sure to check them out when you get a chance.

​And a continued tradition: 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 to chat -- the kids win, too!
