The Summit has become synonymous with excellence and innovation within the Dakota credit union community. For 18 years, the Dakota Credit Union Association has proudly hosted this signature event, our largest and most anticipated annual gathering.
Guided by member feedback, the Summit continues to evolve to meet the needs of today’s credit union leaders. In 2026, we are excited to once again offer a dynamic three-day format designed to deliver greater value and flexibility. Attendees will benefit from concurrently running sessions tailored to diverse interests, expanded networking opportunities, and intentional downtime to recharge and connect.
The 2026 Summit offers something for everyone committed to professional growth and industry advancement. This year’s program features a robust lineup of expert speakers addressing timely topics such as credit union economics, volunteer and board governance, marketing strategy, and leadership development.
We will also come together to celebrate the achievements of Dakota credit unions during our closing awards banquet and conduct the Association’s annual business meeting. Join us as we learn, recognize excellence, and renew our shared commitment to the credit union movement. You will leave the 2026 Summit inspired, energized, and ready to make a meaningful impact.
