About Us

The Conference Group, LLC is a Credit Union Service Organization delivering high-quality learning experiences in unique and inspiring worldwide locations.

Our inaugural year included programs in some of the world’s most inspiring venues, delivered by leading strategic educators. Looking ahead, our 2009 program leaders will include well known credit union professional Patrick Adams and Lou Centini of the Darden School of Business.

Next year, our quest for unique and inspiring program venues will take us from Bora Bora in the South Pacific to northern Europe and Russia. To further ensure that participants are provided an experience of the highest quality, The Conference Group, LLC has engaged renowned credit union cruise professionals Kelly Cruises, Inc to act as our official booking agent for cruises and conferences.

We are most excited to unveil the newest division of The Conference Group, LLC - the CU Philanthropy Group. Our one-of-a-kind, non-profit programming arm comes to your site to deliver a highly motivational event!  Your staff will participate in a pay-it-forward philanthropic exercise while engaging a powerful professional development program.  And - we're not stopping there!  In the next few weeks we will launch The CU Development Group - a division built especially for smaller organizations, delivering dynamic programs in regional venues at affordable rates.

We are honored that you are considering us for your next professional development experience. The Conference Group sincerely looks forward to hosting you on a learning journey that visits some of the most romantic and exciting locations on the planet.
