OUR SPEAKERS
Selected for their insights in the current economic environment and the effects on
the credit union industry, our line-up of presenters is unmatched in any conference
of it’s type.
WORKSHOP SPEAKERS:
BRYAN CLAGETT - IT’S TIME TO DISRUPT THE DISRUPTERS
CMO & Principal, Geezeo
Credit Unions can seize the moment, regardless of what naysayers and fintech disrupters declare. Like it our not, we live in
an era of engagement banking – a time when credit unions must engage members in new ways and maintain relevant,
contextual interactions. Life and money are inextricably linked, and credit unions can develop lasting bonds along the
member life journey. And we can do it better than any neo-bank, startup or app.
CONFERENCE SPEAKERS:
CHARLES N. MCQUEEN - BOLD ECONOMIC PROJECTIONS & WHAT TO MARKET IN 2016
President of McQueen Financial Advisors, Inc.
In 2008 McQueen financial advisors boldly predicted a 10 year low interest rate environment. While others were lost in the
crisis, the advisors at McQueen developed and delivered their clients a product line up to ensure a strong margin. In this
opening presentation Charley will share their predictions for the next five years on inflation, employment, debt and interest
rates. Participants will learn what loan products will be in demand and what investment products will perform best in the
projected interest rate environment.
GEORGE FULTON - MICHIGAN, STRONG, BOLD, RECOVERED?
Director of Research Seminar in Quantitive Economics, University of Michigan
George and his team at U of M are renowned for their expert analysis of economic and fiscal activity in the state of Michigan
and surrounding region. George will present their most current forecast for our landscape.
ADAM DAVIDSON - UNDERSTANDING THE ABC’S OF ECONOMIC REPORTING
Planet Money Co-Founder and Contributor, Writer For The New York Times Magazine
Davidson is Co-Founder and Contributor for the public radio program “This American Life” and “Planet Money.”
Davidson makes substantive, intelligent economic reporting, funny engaging and accessible to the non-expert.
MIKE SCHENK - THE CONTINUED RACE TO COMPETE IN THE FUTURE ECONOMY
Vice President, Economics and Statistics, CUNA
Schenk unlike any other has the most concise way to deliver real time information on industry changing economic landscape
and what that means to future credit union financial performance. Mike’s research and documented studies have proven after
time to be just the information credit union leaders needed. A conference stable requested back year after year by attendees.
JOHN ZOGBY - THE NEW AMERICAN CONSUMER: RESOURCEFUL & SAVVY
America’s Most Accurate Pollster & Trend Spotter
The US economy is based on consumer spending. Between 10 million and 12 million financially successful Americans are
making a conscious decision to cool the “desire to acquire”. How will this consumer effect financial institution lending? Is there
a place for socially responsible credit unions to win their business?
