Why Be a Partner?
We know how important vendor partners are to our success as credit union executives. We also know how important it is for you to be able to reach technology executives across the country with information on your products and services. And we've been told that vendors want to show support for the CUNA Technology Council in a way that's meaningful to the relationships you want to build.
Look no further. The CUNA Technology Council has just the program. Our Partners program provides you with an opportunity to show your support while gaining a high-profile image with the country's premier credit union technology professionals. Here's a chance to have the attention of more than 200 credit union executives all in one place.
Through the Partners program, you'll be able to sponsor popular social events and dynamic educational sessions that give the Technology Council conference its unique feel and flavor. There's no need to staff an exhibit booth and hope that the right participants stop by. The Partners program allows you to mix and mingle with all participants while showing financial support in a public way. Your support will earn the respect of executives, and the thanks of the Technology Council through signage, the program guide, and other public recognition. In addition, it will allow you the opportunity to discuss your services/products in detail to a captive audience.
Participation in our Partners program will mean a high profile with just the right credibility, attracting the attention of the most influential group of credit union technology professionals.
