Credit union professionals can learn about how the changes the world is currently experiencing in global finance, media, and technology will impact credit union business during a general session address at the 2008 CUNA Technology Council Summit, scheduled July 30 - Aug. 2 in Williamsburg, Va.

During “Our Age of Transformation: What’s Next in Our High-Tech, Global 21st Century World?” Peter Leyden, author and former managing editor of Wired magazine, discusses the interconnected changes taking place in technology, the economy, the media, and the restructuring of the new global order. He will explain how these developments, as well as demographical changes in the United States, will force a political shift in the coming decade.
