Benefits of attending
How does my attendance benefit my CU?
The GAC is the only credit union governmental affairs conference of its kind. This event
offers the opportunity to network with peers, hear from key legislative and political
leaders, and experience a variety of breakout sessions on credit unions’ hot issues. There
is nowhere else where you can gather with over 3,000 credit union leaders. GAC also offers
the largest exhibit hall for credit unions, with a wide variety of products and services
for your operational needs.
How does my attendance benefit the CU movement?
The credit union movement’s future depends on strong leadership and a continued presence
on Capitol Hill. The grassroots nature of this event sends a strong message to the banking
industry. Your attendance is key in demonstrating the strength and power of 88 million
credit union members.
