A THINK favorite, TODAY Show financial editor Jean Chatzky, is returning to the THINK stage as host of THINK 19, May 6-9 in Miami. Additionally, five newly-announced speakers will help to round out a stellar lineup of keynote presenters for the conference. This year’s THINK presenters will bring wide-ranging perspectives to their exploration of the theme “Opportunity Never Rests.” The rapid evolution and adoption of technology is creating unprecedented opportunities for credit unions to gain new relevance and grow their membership. The newest additions to the THINK 19 speaker lineup will share and discuss opportunities in areas ranging from member experience, digitalization, the power of habit, and personal finance. Along with previously-announced speakers Seth Godin, José Andrés, Omar Johnson and Amy Purdy, the THINK 19 lineup will include:  Jean Chatzky hosted the past two THINK conferences. In addition to her TODAY Show duties, Chatzky is founder and CEO of HerMoney, a multimedia company focused on delivering information women need to manage their money. She also serves as personal finance ambassador for AARP.

Bliss is a returning THINK speaker, having spoken at the 2011 gathering.

Duhigg was a New York Times reporter for 10 years and won a Pulitzer Prize in 2013. At THINK 19, Duhigg will focus on how credit unions can predict and control habits, and ultimately know what member want before they themselves do. Taavi Kotka helped architect the digital transformation of an entire country as chief information officer of Estonia. The country’s e-residency program, launched in December 2014, allows non-citizens access to Estonian services, such as company formation, banking, payment processing and tax information.
