“In a world where everything is moving so rapidly, simply being fast isn’t enough; you have to be faster than anyone and everyone. Accelerate until you’re at the front and move fast to stay there.” – Jeff Lerner, owner and CEO of Xurli How fast does the digital world spin? Consumer expectations, technological breakthroughs and a culture of change demand a constant whirlwind of innovation and action. Yet, it’s never been more critical to develop a deep understanding of where the world, your members and your organization are heading. It’s a race to excellence. Join us at THINK 18, the premier credit union innovation conference, May 7 to 10, 2018, at the Sheraton Grand at Wild Horse Pass in Chandler, Arizona. This year’s theme, “The Race to Excellence,” will fuel an action-packed four days of all-star keynotes, lively dialogue and debate, and collaborative strategizing in an unparalleled setting of natural beauty. Why so fast? The need for speed is nothing new, but changes in the marketplace are accelerating demand. In an omni-digital world, credit unions must move faster:

• Selling to members at the time, place and channels they prefer
• Using digital strategies to make products easier to use (think “one click”)
• Offering personalized products and services that are both timely and relevant
• Moving to a real-time delivery of information that can help members manage their finances.
