The ABCUL conference 2008
This weekend Louise and I went to Blackpool (my favourite place in the world) to attend the ABCUL conference. ABCUL are the Association of British Credit Unions Ltd, the trade association that represents credit unions in the UK, lobbying the government for better legislation to help credit unions and offer training and support.
This is the second time that I have attended and this year, as I did last year, I got carried away with the enthusiasm and passion of people within the movement. After welcoming speeches and ensuing debate I was off back to university to study economics and then work towards financial inclusion for all. Maybe something for the distant future once I’ve conquered the world of design and marketing!
Louise gave an excellent presentation on branding on Sunday morning, which caused heated debate on how ABCUL should rebrand themselves. She was also funny, which always helps.
All round a very successful and enjoyable weekend, even the wind and the fact we were in Blackpool didn’t dampen the experience.
