VisiFI’s 2024 Customer Conference rewinds to the 80s and quickly fast-forwards into the complexities of achieving sustainable growth in today’s “always on” dynamic environment.  Inspired by the Rubik’s Cube, we’ll explore the interconnected sides of the puzzle needed to help credit unions unlock the full potential of their business.

Totally Tubular “Back to the 80s”

Dust off your leg warmers and break out the neon!  Tuesday Night, join us for radical fun and retro surprises as we celebrate the iconic decade of the 80s! We’re talking big hair, shoulder pads, and all the neon you can handle.  Dress in your best 80s attire for the costume contest and dance the night away with our favorite DJ, Patty Depa from Public Service Credit Union (and Dancin’ DJ Productions).
