Looking for Reasons?

​You don’t want to miss our biggest event of the year! Find out what previous attendees are saying about the DakCU Summit! 

Your Dakota Credit Union Association has used “Annual Summit” since 2008 to describe our signature event and the largest annual gathering of Dakota Credit Unions. Merriam-Webster defines Summit as “top, apex, especially the highest point, peak.” Synonyms include conference, important meeting, discussion, dialogue, and consultation. No doubt, “Annual Summit” is an appropriate name and description!

But don’t take our word for it! Here’s what prior attendees had to say:

“Summit is a great chance to network with other credit unions and is invaluable for that reason – as well as staying committed to the movement.”

“Being newer to the industry, it was nice to see how credit unions work together to support the industry as a whole. Yes, we are competitors, but we also support each other and the mission.”

"DakCU Summit was incredibly engaging with its variety of speakers and opportunities for networking. I returned to my credit union reenergized and excited to put the information I learned to work!”

"The best networking opportunity in the Dakotas for credit union professionals. I look forward to it every year!”

“The Summit is always a great event to attend! The breakout sessions are well planned, speakers are powerful, and it is a great networking opportunity. I learn something every time I attend.”

“I enjoyed getting to know people from other credit unions and learning what we do differently, but also how we are similar.”
“It is quite invigorating to see over 250 Dakota credit union professionals together in one room.”

“I thoroughly enjoy attending the Summit, not only for the educational speakers, but because I get to see my peers from across North and South Dakota. The opportunity to network with other credit union employees, board members and supervisory committee members is, in my opinion, priceless!”
