CUNA Technology Council Summit
“Partners in Technology” Logistical Information:
Conference Agenda
Conference Activities, Attendee Roster, and Exhibit Hours
As a partner, you are invited to all meal functions, social events, and conference sessions. We encourage you to use this time to attend sessions and mingle with the credit union attendees to hear the questions being asked and the topics being discussed to evaluate services you can provide.
A list of the conference attendees that have registered to date is being sent to you on July 11, along with a demographic report. We hope that this list will help you in preparing for the conference where you will have ample opportunity to interact with the attendees. On July 28, an updated attendee roster will be emailed to you, and a final one sent after the conference.
There won’t be formal exhibit hours. If you have purchased a display table for $1,000, we suggest that you be at your display table during breakfasts, networking breaks, and any time sessions are not being held.
Display Tables
Instead of an exhibit hall, we use the “Welcome Center” concept that has worked well at other CUNA Council Conferences. Conference registration, refreshment breaks, breakfasts, and sponsor display tables will all be in one area. This will allow you to interact with the attendees during breaks and breakfasts and still attend all of the conference sessions and social events. The Welcome Center will be located in the Venetian Foyer at the Portofino Bay Resort at Universal Studios. If you are interested in purchasing a display table for $1,000, please let me know as soon as possible.
Setup and Dismantle
On Wednesday, August 2nd, the conference registration desk will open, beginning at 11:00 a.m. Please check in at the registration desk for your conference materials. If you have purchased a display table, you should plan on setting up your display table on Wednesday between the hours of 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. There will be an identification sign on your assigned table. The atmosphere in the Welcome Center is informal; there is no pipe and drape. If you wish to bring a tabletop or popup display, you may do so. If not, signs and literature are sufficient. Dismantle can take place on Saturday when the conference ends at 11:15 a.m. Again, if you are interested in purchasing a display table for $1,000, please let me know as soon as possible.

If you need electrical or Internet service for your display table in the Welcome Center, you must make arrangements directly with the hotel. Attached are order forms for these services.
