One of my favorite conferences of the year is WOCCU's World Credit Union Conference. The obvious international flavor is simply fascinating when you get credit union folks from all over the world in one place. Yes, we're all different culturally -- and that's super cool in itself, but we discover that we all essentially have the same challenges, successes, and, of course, mission.

That said, WOCCU's 2021 World Credit Union Conference kicks off July 14 (in one month!) and spans seven days, concluding July 21. One of the reasons for its duration is the huge 50th Anniversary of WOCCU. So there will be an extended celebration for that incredible milestone.

For a preview of this year's global gathering -- which will be virtual once again, we invited WOCCU Director of Meetings and Expositions Kadie Hochmuth and WOCCU Manager, Virtual Engagement & Special Events Kassandra Rauch Schroeder. Kadie and Kassandra joined us to showcase topics, speakers, activities at the 2021 WCUC. In addition, they shared some of World Council of Credit Unions’ virtual initiatives they have been working on leading up to World Credit Union Conference.

Some of the conference's session topics on the agenda include:

• Always Forward – Moving From Fear to Purpose-Driven Business 
• What Credit Unions Need to Know About Decentralized Finance (DeFi) 
• Open Banking & Privacy – Emerging Regulatory Issues 
• Setting Your Credit Union Apart from the Competition with a Brand that is Trusted 
• Cyber Resilience 
• Open Banking - Friend or Foe? 
• Crisis Management: Leading Through a Crisis 
• How Proportionality Supports Financial Inclusion
• Re-Thinking Headquarters and Branches in a Post-COVID World 

These topics barely scratch the surface of what's going to take place at WCUC the week of July 14-21, 2021. Check it out and let us know your thoughts. And don't forget to register! Also, watch the entire episode below for all the details.
