2026 Summit Registration Open Now!

​Early bird registration opens TODAY and we’re kicking things off with a keynote lineup you won’t want to miss.

This year’s Dakota Credit Union Association Annual Summit brings three powerhouse speakers to the main stage, each ready to inspire fresh thinking and spark big ideas across our movement. Join us May 12–14 at The Box in Box Elder, South Dakota, a modern, energizing venue designed for learning, collaboration, and meaningful connection.

And while the buzz is already building, don’t forget Crasher applications opened last week! If you know an emerging leader or someone new to the credit union movement who’s ready to grow, connect, and bring new energy to the Summit, now is the time to encourage them to apply. This year’s Summit is shaping up to be one of our most dynamic yet.
​
We’re also putting the finishing touches on a robust slate of breakout sessions and trust us, it’s one of those “so many great options, so little time” kind of programs. This year’s topics include compliance, stablecoin, financial education and financial well-being, fraud, member engagement, the future of payments, cybersecurity, lending, and human resources/compliance, all with practical insights and strategies you can bring back to your credit union. More details are coming soon!
  
Here’s a look at just three of the incredible speakers joining us this year:
Todd Cetnar, Founder & CEO, Cetnar Consulting Group
We’re starting strong with high-energy leadership expert Todd Cetnar a former professional basketball player and 3x Hall of Famer with more than 25 years of global leadership experience in both corporate and athletic arenas.
 
Todd’s signature 3 Pillars of Elite Results blends mindset, leadership, and culture into a practical framework teams can use. He’s trained executives, coaches, and organizations around the world, and he’ll bring that same passion and clarity to the Summit stage. Expect a motivating, actionable session that sets the tone for the week.
