About THINK

Not Your Typical Conference

The THINK Conference was created to put a fresh perspective on the challenges and opportunities faced by credit unions every day. You won't find the standard conference format or see typical industry speakers. What you will find is innovation, inspiration and vision for shaping a bold new future for the credit union movement.

THINK 10 - Synopsis of Highlights

THINK 10, "Resetting Priorities for a New Landscape," was all about breaking away from the same, standard conference format and typical industry speakers by showing infinite ways to look at even the simplest things. We heard from visionary leaders of Coca-Cola, Microsoft, smart USA, Yahoo! and more, who inspired, energized and awakened attendees to a new way of seeing the credit union movement.

THINK 09 - Synopsis of Highlights

Set near Austin in beautiful Lost Pines, Texas, THINK 09 was an inspiring event. Speakers from a wide range of business sectors were on hand, including Nike, Porsche, Disney, Target, Wal-Mart, and David Plouffe, Campaign Manager for Barack Obama's 2008 campaign, who set the tone for the conference by illustrating how underdogs can, in fact, beat the odds. This was a relevant theme that resonated as credit unions looked to increase their market share and gain ground on larger financial institutions.

THINK 08 - Synopsis of Highlights

The breakthrough, mind-expanding conference that started it all, THINK 08 was a rousing success. Business leaders from Apple, Harley-Davidson, Starbucks, Southwest Airlines and more shared their success stories and got people thinking about new ways to approach old business problems. It set the tone for future THINK conferences to come, by igniting a new way of thinking about the vast potential of the credit union movement.
