The global event, which brings together over 1,800 delegates from the credit union sector, will feature presentations on leadership, cybersecurity, digital technologies and the economy.
Last month WOCCU confirmed Connie Dieken, founder of Influence360˚ and strategic advisory firm Dieken Group, as a keynote speaker.

He has been featured in The New York Times, CNN Money, and Fortune.
A third speaker, Dr Pippa Malmgren, will talk about her experience as a presidential advisor to George W. Bush and on the National Economic Council.
