About the Summit
Practical AI for community financial institutions
The AI Summit for Credit Unions and Banks is a one-day, in-person event focused on the real-world application of AI inside community-scale financial institutions.
Built for executives, technology leaders, operations heads, and compliance officers, the summit delivers proven use cases, vendor-agnostic guidance, and actionable takeaways to help your institution move from AI curiosity to measurable impact.
No hype. No theory. Just AI you can put to work for your members and customers.

Agenda
One day. Real deployments. Zero hype.
8:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Registration, Breakfast & Exhibits
Check in, grab coffee, and explore the exhibitor hall.
Opening Keynote: The State of AI in Community Banking
AI has moved from pilot to production. Where the industry stands and what the NCUA is watching.
Lightning Round — AI in Production
Six real deployments, five minutes each. The credit union that boosted loan processing volume by 70%, the bank that stopped over $377,000 in check fraud in two months, the credit union resolving 90%+ of member inquiries with AI. No slideware.
Networking & Exhibits Break
AI in Lending
How a $2.3B credit union boosted loan processing 70% with AI decisioning, under fair-lending scrutiny.
Fireside Chat: Lessons From the Front Lines
A candid, unscripted conversation with a leader who's deployed AI in production. Audience Q&A.
Lunch & Solutions Showcase
Hands-On Workshop: Build Your 90-Day AI Roadmap
You're working, not watching. Leave with a written, prioritized plan.
Networking & Exhibits Break
Panel: Compliance, Risk & Governance
Examiners, attorneys, and CIOs on what you must document — model risk, fair lending, BSA/AML, and deepfake-driven fraud — as the NCUA aligns with the NIST AI Risk Management Framework.
Networking & Exhibits Break
Roundtable Discussions
No podium, no slides — practitioners comparing notes in small groups by topic and asset size. Pull up to the table that matches your priorities and leave with peers' real playbooks (and their contact info).
Closing Fireside: The Next Three Years
What community FIs must do now to stay competitive through 2029.
Closing Remarks
Networking Reception
Drinks, connections, and follow-ups to turn conversations into next steps.
