Rob Landis speaking at Corelation CEO & CTO Forum

Credit union core processor Corelation, Inc. hosted their second annual CEO & CTO Forum on October 13-14, 2022, with 146 attendees gathering in San Diego for the event. The forum was designed to take advantage of in-person networking and collaboration, offering thought-provoking presentations followed by ample opportunity for open discussion.

The two-day event featured a wide array of engaging sessions hosted by industry experts covering topics including cyber-security, cryptocurrency, merger activity, cloud technology, and much more. 

"The Corelation CEO & CTO Forum this year provided tremendous insights to the direction of credit unions in technology, security, and leadership,” shared Clint Summers, Chief Operations Officer of Clearwater Credit Union.  “It was time well spent networking with the peers that are making a difference in the credit union space."

The first day’s agenda featured general sessions, including a keynote presentation from Dr. Roger Tutterow, Professor of Economics at Kennesaw State University and the latest on how to detect and prevent cybersecurity risks from Jim Stickley, CEO of Stickley on Security.

On the second day, attendees split off into separate tracks with sessions tailored to both the CEOs and the CTOs. The CEO track covered a range of topics including a discussion about predictions for merger activities led by Tom O’Shea, Founder & Principal Advisor of Margate Advisors LLC; a look at the future of onboarding with Digital ID hosted by Becky Reed, CEO of Lone Star Credit Union; and a digital wealth management ad cryptocurrency discussion with Ben Soppitt, Co-Founder & CEO of Unifimoney.

The CTO sessions dove deeper into technology focused topics including Corelation’s secure software development environment with Corelation’s Information Security Officer Roger Scullion; a discussion about cloud technology and Linux migrations with Corelation Founder & Chairman John Landis, Chief Innovation Officer Jeff Dent, and Director of Software Development Eben Maat; and a presentation on data warehousing from Brewster Knowlton, Founder & CEO of The Knowlton Group LLC.

“Our CEO & CTO Forum is meant to be a networking event first, focused on open discussion about the future of our industry in an intimate, collaborative environment.  To see our credit union community come together share ideas and strategies left us all feeling energized,” noted Corelation President Rob Landis.  “Thank you to our many credit union clients, presenters, vendor partners, and our Corelation team for making this event so special!”
