FAQs

VentureTech is intended to showcase innovative, emerging technologies to the credit union industry. It is a more intimate event than many other industry events. We do not consider it to be a traditional “conference”. There is a high level of engagement between attendees and presenters/sponsors and the networking opportunities are tremendous.

Credit unions, credit union leagues, and investors are welcome to attend the event. If you are a fintech company and wish to attend the event, you must either apply and be selected for the pitch competition or become a sponsor. Other service providers (including CUSOs) must sponsor in order to attend. This is to ensure that the event remains credit union focused and has a balanced group of attendees. All registrations are subject to approval.

In 2024, there were over 310 attendees including 74 credit unions, 63 presenting fintech companies and sponsors/exhibitors, 11 credit union leagues and league service corps, and 10 investment companies.
