Accommodations
Credit union attendees can book rooms in the League’s reserved block at the host venue. Exhibiting vendors and sponsors should reserve rooms at the nearby Hampton Inn & Suites Concord Charlotte. Rooms for both hotels are limited, so early booking is encouraged once accommodations become available.
Credit Union and Vendor Sponsorships
A series of sponsorships are associated with this event. Exclusive to credit unions is the League’s Credit Union Supporter Sponsorship, which benefits pre-conference events including the CU Roundtable and Emerging Leaders’ Workshop, or CUxEL Protégé Competition Finals.
Open to credit unions and vendors are sponsorships for the Foundation’s Gala, where supporters can champion the dinner, cocktail reception, and more.
Lastly, vendors and League business partners are invited to play a key role in the success of LAUNCH as a Takeoff Sponsor (45-minute breakout session), Sprint Session Sponsor (20-minute session), Exhibit Booth Sponsor, and more.
