Several of this year's sessions will feature a new interactive format, promoting participant discussions that allow a wider perspective on issues facing credit unions globally.

As in years past, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in local credit union visits and see first-hand how credit unions in Hong Kong operate.

The conference will also include WOCCU's Young Credit Union People Program, which offers select events, including a networking session, for attendees under the age of 35.

Attendees wishing to enhance their Asian experience can participate in the optional pre-conference tour to Beijing, China from July 9-12 and post-conference tour to Bangkok, Thailand from July 17-20.

The excursions are in addition to companion tours that will take place during the conference for partners and families of attendees. The companion tours include day trips to nearby Macau and to Shenzhen on Mainland China.

Space is limited and the deadline for a discounted early registration rate is May 9.
