Last Call: New Ideas Registration Closes Friday

Registration closes September 11! Don’t miss the New Ideas Conference, September 23–24, for fresh perspectives, practical strategies and connections to help move your credit union forward.

Registration for the Dakota Credit Union Association’s (DakCU) 2026 New Ideas Conference closes THIS FRIDAY, September 11. If you’ve been considering attending, now is the time to register.

September 23–24 | The Venue 701 | Mandan, N.D.

For just a day and a half, New Ideas brings credit union professionals from across the Dakotas together to focus on the issues shaping our industry today, and the changes that will define what comes next.

Artificial intelligence and technology are changing how we work. Member expectations continue to evolve. Reaching younger generations requires new approaches. And credit unions are looking for ways to innovate, grow and strengthen relationships while staying true to the people-helping-people philosophy.

This is a chance to step away from the day-to-day and spend 1.5 days learning from people who understand those challenges and are already thinking about what comes next.

There is truly something for everyone. The conference covers leadership, marketing, communication, member relationships, technology, innovation and growth, making New Ideas relevant whether you're leading a credit union, building member relationships, managing operations, communicating with your audience, or simply looking for a new perspective to bring back to your team.

Of course, some of the best value happens outside the sessions. New Ideas also creates opportunities to connect with credit union professionals from across the Dakotas, share experiences, learn what others are doing, and build relationships that continue beyond the event.

The 2026 lineup also features the return of Christopher Lorence for his fourth New Ideas Conference, along with national speakers bringing experience in financial services, communications, leadership and innovation.

You may leave with a new strategy, a new connection, a new perspective or simply one idea that makes you look differently at a challenge your credit union is facing.

But you have to be there to get it.

Registration closes THIS FRIDAY, September 11.
