Exhibit at the OCUS EXPO 2000!
The Expo Hall is the focal point of the Ohio Credit Union System’s three-day convention, and we invite you to share in the action. Ohio CEOs and other credit union decision-makers rank the Expo Hall as a primary reason they attend the convention each year. These credit union professionals visit the Expo Hall to find the products and services that help their credit unions grow. And we’ve designed the 2000 Expo Hall with your business needs in mind. New layouts maximize traffic flow and increase exposure to every booth. The multiple gathering areas let you comfortably talk at length with existing and prospective clients.

Check in and set up your booth between 9am and 2pm on the first day of the convention, then join us at 4:30pm for a private reception in the Expo Hall with credit union Chief Executive Officers only.
