2010 Supplier's Conference

February 19^th, 2010 • 9 AM to 3 PM

Each year, Callahan & Associates hosts its annual Supplier's Conference on the Friday preceding CUNA's Government Affairs Conference (GAC). In the day-long conference here in our downtown Washington DC offices, we take a close look at the credit union industry - its current performance, key issues, and trends that will impact the industry in 2010 and beyond. You will also hear from credit union executives speak on key issues and what they look for when developing supplier relationships. Finally, we will address how you can better segment the credit union industry to achieve your business development goals. We'll help you identify operational, performance, and psychographic information that will assist in your lead generation efforts.
