It’s going to be an exciting year!”
The conference sets sail for its three-day journey with keynote speaker Captain Kate McCue. A San Francisco native, Captain Kate made history as the first American female captain of a mega-ton cruise ship, breaking barriers in the maritime industry and inspiring a new generation of leaders at sea.

She has become one of the most recognizable figures in maritime and luxury travel, with more than 4.6 million followers across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. Her personal motto, “If you can SEA it, you can BE it,” continues to inspire audiences around the world.
Joining Captain Kate is a full lineup of highly respected credit union mortgage experts. This includes Michael Christians, principal of Michael Christians Consulting, LLC, who will provide an enlightening and informative look into current regulatory issues facing credit unions.
