Where ideas turn into outcomes

The right people, in the right room

Twice a year, 150+ leaders from Circuit Owner organizations gather with industry innovators and select solution providers for candid conversations, peer learning, and collaboration around the industry's most pressing priorities.

This is not a traditional conference. It is an interactive experience, where Owners engage directly in the work by collaborating, shaping priorities, and moving ideas into execution.

FROM PAST ATTENDEES

“I love Owner Meetings. It's the Goldilocks zone for conferences, not too big, not too small. Perfect for collaboration and learning.”

“Love the networking and love the breakouts. Hearing from our peers on how they approach challenges is so valuable.”

“Each Owner Meeting becomes even more worthwhile.”

THE OWNER MEETING EXPERIENCE

Two days, built around the work

The program centers on shared Owner work, from live initiatives and Owner-led decisions to outside perspectives on the future of credit unions.
