Welcome to Registrations for the ABCUL Annual Conference 2025!

We are delighted to announce that registrations are now open for next year’s ABCUL Annual Conference 2025, taking place on Friday 14 and Saturday 15 March 2025. This year marks an exciting milestone as we move the conference from Manchester to Leeds, hosted at the prestigious Queens Hotel in Leeds City Centre.

Highlights of the Conference

Our dedicated ABCUL team is working hard to craft an engaging programme that caters to credit unions of all shapes and sizes across the British sector. Delegates can look forward to:

Six Plenary Sessions with insights from industry leaders.
18 Breakout Sessions designed to address the unique challenges and opportunities for credit unions of every size.
Featured speakers from the international credit union movement, regulators from the PRA, and representatives from local and national Government.

This year’s themes will focus on key developments shaping our sector, including:

The evolving political landscape and its impact on credit unions. With the newly formed Labour Government announcing plans to reform the credit union common bond, we’ll explore the Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ pledge to launch a call for evidence and task regulators to review the mutuals landscape.
Updates on ABCUL’s Community Development Credit Union Project.
The role of AI in the financial services sector.
Best practices in Marketing for Credit Unions.

A full programme, including detailed session descriptions, will be available soon on the ABCUL Annual Conference website page and in future ABCUL Members’ Bulletins - stay tuned!
