This is a virtual session that runs from 9 a.m. to noon (central time).
- March 17-18: NASCUS National Meeting (for state regulators only). This virtual meeting looks at the latest issues facing supervision and regulation of the state system, while also offering state regulators a forum where they can share ideas, discuss common issues, and uncover trends. The event this year will be virtual; registration is open only to state regulators.
- Summer: NASCUS Cybersecurity Conference with CUNA is scheduled to be held (with the precise date/time to be announced at a later time). The event has become the premier cybersecurity event within the credit union system, looking at the latest developments, trends and techniques for ensuring security of credit union systems.
