Hear from previous years’ attendees:
Where credit union executives and fintech rebels build the future together
What happens when you drop 30 credit union executives and 30 fintech founders into a room with no sales decks, no press releases, and no BS?
You get CU 2.0 Live.
This is not your average conference. This is a curated collision of curiosity, collaboration, and calculated chaos.
Over 2.5 days, we go deep—not wide. We don’t do panels for the sake of panels or keynote speakers who haven’t set foot in a branch since 2006. What we do is co-create breakthrough strategies, tackle industry friction head-on, and level up our leadership and our companies… together.
30 Credit Union Executives. Leaders who are tired of me-too tech and want something better than “bank-lite.”
30 Fintech Entrepreneurs. Builders looking for insight, feedback, and partnership—not just another customer.
One Intimate Venue. No expo hall. No 300-person keynotes. Just real talk, real ideas, and real relationships.
Handcrafted Agenda. Each session, topic, and conversation is custom-built from attendee input.
Side Effects May Include: New partnerships, strategy shifts, fintech investments, big ideas, new wine preferences.
Think mastermind meets retreat meets business therapy. We curate the group. We gather feedback before the event. We match the right minds around the right problems. We layer in just enough structure to make the magic happen—then we get out of the way.
Expect:
Unfiltered conversations
Rapid-fire roundtables
1:1 connections that matter
Facilitated ideation that doesn’t suck
And yes… wine. Damn good wine.
It’s all about finding the right fit of people.
Credit union leaders who want to do more than talk about innovation—they want to ship it.
Fintech CEOs ready to scale responsibly and intelligently in the cooperative space.
Humans who value authenticity over ego, connection over card-swaps, and outcomes over optics.
Booth hoppers
Badge collectors
Buzzword addicts
People who think collaboration is a one-way street
This event happens once a year. Every seat is intentional. Every guest is vetted. Every topic is chosen with purpose.
If you’re ready to stop networking and start building, apply to attend CU 2.0 Live.
The future of cooperative finance won’t be built in giant ballrooms.
It’ll be built here.
