“Risk and cybersecurity are a serious matter for credit unions of all shapes and sizes. So, we want to bring information that is relevant and helpful for all institutions,” said Jaime Agostino, VP of sales, marketing and education for Vizo Financial. “We believe the education we’ll be providing at the 2025 Risk Management Conference will allow credit unions to think about risk creatively and plan strategically for the future.”
In addition to the education sessions, attendees will also have the chance to participate in activities that include spa treatments or a golf outing, earn up to eight CPE credits and enjoy plenty of time for credit union connections at reception and dinner events during this three-day conference experience.
“As technology evolves and our movement becomes more entrenched in the cyber world, it’s more important than ever to stay knowledgeable about potential risks,” said Lori Gall, SVP/chief risk officer for Vizo Financial. “We’re confident that this year’s conference will check all the boxes for attendees in terms of thought-provoking sessions, interactive discussions, dynamic speakers and, ultimately, tangible insights that can be turned into powerful risk strategies.”
