DES MOINES, Iowa–Choice Creative Solutions said it will host its inaugural Credit Union Relevent 2021 event June 6-9th in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Resort. Choice Creative Solutions is a wholly-owned CUSO of Community Choice Credit Union.
Relevent 2021 will feature keynote speakers that include fintech influencer Duena Blomstrom, economist Steve Rick, credit union educator Jim Austin and former Playboy CEO Christie Hefner.
“We felt it was important to provide speakers that you might not normally see at a credit union event. For example, Duena Blomstrom has never spoken to credit unions in the United States,” said Choice Creative Solutions President Jeff Klein.
Other speakers will include trailblazing credit union CEOs such as Community Choice’s Josh Cook, alongside other thought leaders from Relevent 2021 sponsors.
In addition to the lineup of speakers, Relevent 2021 will feature immersive networking opportunities for attendees including events at Top Golf, the High Roller and at the MGM Splash Pool.
“If this event feels like other credit union events, we’ll have missed our mark,: said Klein.
Early-bird registration for the event is $1,349 and includes three-nights of accommodations at the MGM resort, most meals and all networking events for attendee and their guest.
Attendance at Relevent 2021 will be limited to credit union CEOs and C-level executives and will be a 100% in-person event.
“As a vendor, we’ve had very minimal success with virtual conferences. It’s almost impossible to replicate the interactions and engagement you find in-person at a virtual booth,” said Joe Sheridan, head of Business Development at Simply Focused, the title sponsor of Relevent 2021.
“We need to get back to in-person. The credit union industry needs it and Las Vegas needs it to be honest,” said Klein.
In addition to Simply Focused, other sponsors include OM Financial, SRM, Allied Solutions, Finastra and Kasasa.
“Limited sponsorship opportunities remain for what is shaping up to be an incredibly exciting and successful inaugural event,” the organization said.
“In our neck of the woods, they say ‘If you build it they will come.’ We are looking forward to building a conference unlike any other and we’re confident that our credit union friends will come,” said Klein.
