Only 38 days 'til #MAXX2024 in Denver this year! Hard to say what to be most excited about: the boots, buckles and rhinestones at the CU4Kids Diamond Roundup Auction, over 120 leading solution partners in the Trade Show, celebrating excellence at the GoWest Awards Dinner & Gala, or simply the best networking in the credit union industry and Movement! Can't forget all the learning, too, and am especially excited for our deep dive on AI with thought leading sessions from speakers like OpenAI's Zack Kass, Zest AI's Mike de Vere, and WSECU's AI case study with Judith Henderson and Melissa Wolff. The interactive Roundtables throughout MAXX will also drive amazing discussion.

Of financial institutions that use auto-decisioning, 1 out 5 manually review nearly every loan. This kills any efficiency gains they were hoping to gain in their lending operations. This is just one highlight from a new research paper from Cornerstone Advisors Ron Shevlin and commisioned by Zest AI on the impact of AI on lending efficiency. Check out the report here: https://lnkd.in/gvVbqfGf
