Our Top Ten Reasons…

Join us for some New Ideas in exciting Deadwood, SD as we delve into new ways to embrace cooperative principles within your own credit union doors. 

Are you still pondering your “chances” of attending or sending staff to DakCU’s New Ideas Conference? Are you playing the “odds” with engagement, innovation, leadership, marketing, selling, trends, and disruptors at your credit union?
 
While we are heading to one of the top gambling meccas in the US, Deadwood, SD, there is one “sure bet” you can count on: The New Ideas Conference will provide an intense learning and networking experience for all! So, let’s “lay down our cards” with our TOP TEN list of reasons you do not want to miss out on this opportunity – because we are “all in!”
 
10. LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION. Located in historic Deadwood, South Dakota, Cadillac Jack’s Gaming Resort is the Black Hills’ hottest full-service casino and hotel. Come early and stay late – and enjoy the natural beauty of the Black Hills.

9. ACTION. With 22 table games and 240 slot machines available 24/7, no doubt you will have time to “roll the dice” if you are so inclined.

8. NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES APLENTY. Feedback from previous New Ideas attendees revealed that participants wanted more time to network informally with colleagues. Credit unions are well known for sharing their successes, and their challenges – and this event allows time to have those important conversations with your peers. Check!

7. COMPACT AGENDA. To reduce “out of office” time, our conference has been condensed into 1.5 days to make the most efficient use of your time.

6. OUTSTANDING SPEAKER LINEUP. With Bo McDonald, Denise Wymore, Erik Therwanger, and Mollie Bell, we have engaged top industry thought leaders as our featured presenters.

5. TOPICS YOU WANT AND NEED. From “Selling through Chaos,” to “Innovation in Credit Unions,” to “The Heart and Sould of Engagement,” to “Compete and WIN Against Any Competitor,” our sessions are appropriate for everyone from entry level to top management.

4. IMAGINATION. Are you ready to see the financial services industry through new insights and strategies? Out with the old ideas – in with the NEW IDEAS applicable for all credit union staff!

3. INDUSTRY TRENDS. Hear from industry experts on upcoming and current industry trends, disruptors, and hot topics that are directly impacting credit unions. Topics to be featured include data and analytics, cyber security, member experience, auto trends, housing trends and refinances.

2. BE INSPIRED. It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day tasks. Sometimes, we just need a little inspiration – and this is the event to find it! You never know where the “best new idea” might come from within your organization – that is why this conference is so successful with attendees, from CEOs to operations to marketing and MSRs!

1. KEY TAKEAWAYS. We expect all our attendees to thoroughly enjoy the New Ideas experience, but don’t let all the fun fool you! Attendees will leave our fall conference with concrete, actionable steps that can be implemented at your organization immediately!
