WCLU stuff
I had the brief opportunity to visit the Washington Credit Union League Trade Show/Convention on Wednesday. My visit was cut short by another engagement the following day, but I was able walk around for a few hours on Wednesday afternoon.
I wasn’t able to attend any of the sessions such as Creating a Community Development Program for your Credit Union, already reviewed by OSCU here or the session about the Vantage credit scoring by Art Kics which I also heard good things about. But I walking around the booths at the trade show and I felt……..bored. I hate to say it, but there just wasn’t anything there that got me exciting.
Now I know lots of people thoroughly enjoyed the sessions and I’m sure lots of great discussions were had by all, but I guess I was just less than thrilled by the normal, ho-hum products. About the only booth I remember was ESP’s. It had a cool flat screen display and modern looking booth!
I do think that WCLU put on a good showing. The DoubleTree was nice, accomodations were good, and the company was great. I’m looking forward to the next one, but I just want to see something new, bright, and exciting.
I guess I’d just like to park my chair right between a Trabian/OSCU booth and a Zopa booth!

Robbie, dangit. How could we have missed you? We literally scoured the place looking for you (I’m serious).
Where was your room? Ours’ was in another zip code.
All in all, the conference was a blast though. Wish we could have hung out.
Yeah, bummer huh. I was just up for the day and ended up a little farther north on Wednesday night. Next time…
