September 23–25
in beautiful Ashland, Oregon
This isn’t a conference.
It’s a launchpad.
A message from your host:
Look familiar? This was formerly CU 2.0 Live, but we rebranded to partner with Community Financial Credit Union’s ROOM (39)a initiative.
This is an immersive working retreat.
This first-of-its-kind event is for credit union leaders and fintech founders to ignite real change.
Expect new research, peer-led skill studios, small group labs, and memorable experiences across Ashland’s downtown wine spaces and the Rogue Credit Union auditorium.
We’re hosting strategic growth conversations in a collaborative, high-performing atmosphere…
With time baked in for relaxation and connection.
Curated Connections: Small, focused groups based on your priorities—whether that’s deposit growth, AI readiness, or rethinking your tech stack.
Immersive Skill Studios: Peer-led sessions where attendees teach and learn from each other.
Macro & Micro Insights: Research reveals that cut through noise to highlight opportunities and risks.
Action-Focused Workshops: Cross-functional sessions designed to move from insight to real-world execution.
Ashland Experiences: Chef’s dinners, wine pairings, wellness activities, and optional adventures like stargazing on Mt. Ashland or a Crater Lake excursion.
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.
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 Launch, presented by CU 2.0 x ROOM (39)a.
The future of cooperative finance won’t be built in giant ballrooms.
It’ll be built here.
