CO-OP Financial Services Announces THINK 11 Conference May 14-18, 2011, at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel

"THINK 11 will be held in the home of 'Imagineering,' Disney's term for innovative thinking," said Stan Hollen, President/CEO of CO-OP Financial Services. "That's what the THINK Conference is all about - providing a line-up of world-class speakers from a variety of fields to inspire credit union people to think of their business approaches in a whole new way."

The conference's accent on creativity will be enhanced in 2011 with the final round of the inaugural CO-OP THINK Prize, a $10,000 award for the entrant who presents the most effective, shareable plan for growing the credit union movement. Three finalists will present their ideas as part of the THINK 11 agenda, with the winner determined by conference attendees, online viewers and a panel of experts from the Filene Research Institute and CO-OP.

The Grand Californian, located in the heart of the Disneyland Resort complex, is a AAA Four Diamond Hotel. The hotel promotes itself as "defining grandeur in every way." THINK Conference attendees will have access to everything the hotel has to offer as the conference will be the exclusive event at the property from May 14-18, 2011.

 

CO-OP is assembling its speaker line-up now, and conference organizers are seeking input from the industry on what topics would be most valuable to them.
