NCUCA believes that information about vendors, products and services should be made available to its members so they can make informed decisions for their Credit Unions.
  • Because NCUCA is a tax exempt organization the IRS has informed us that our “contributors/vendors” cannot deduct the registration cost on their taxes due to this tax exemption.
  • NCUCA does not endorse, recommend, or make representations with respect to any product, service or any vendors which advertise or promote their services or product with NCUCA. Individuals at a NCUCA sponsored event do not represent an endorsement by NCUCA, nor is it testimony by NCUCA as to the quality of the products or services by any vendors participating or advertising at our events. All information contained on our website was believed to be correct at the time of inclusion, and is for informational purposes only and does not necessarily express the views of NCUCA.

For Credit Unions: Minimum commitments with the hotel on the conference rooms, hotel rooms, and food and beverage ordering, are left to be paid by the conference in instances of cancellations and therefore conference cancellations or future year(s) allocations are not allowed under any circumstance unless we cancel the conference. To ensure peace of mind at registration, NCUCA allows for attendee name changes at any time ahead of the conference, only if 24 hours lead time is provided to process such requests and only if hotel room is not cancelled. Replacement attendee must be from your same organization and must occupy same reserved hotel room in order to be permitted.

For Vendors: $500 cancellation fee per vendor attendee applicable. Cancellations after January 10th, 2025, will not be eligible for refunds.
