From strategy sessions and data deep dives to games at Arcadia and sailing across Casco Bay, we had a blast at our second annual Arkalytics Summit!
We’re grateful for the time, ideas, and willingness of our attendees to engage - their presence and participation helped make it an energizing, insightful, and collaborative experience.
One of the most common pieces of feedback we heard was how valuable it was to connect with fellow credit unions and banks facing similar challenges and realize you’re not alone on your data journey. That sense of shared purpose and community is exactly what the Arkalytics Summit is all about. Here are some other comments from attendees:
Love Arka's culture ... your employees/presenters exude positive energy and enthusiasm!"
This has been a great event. I loved the variety of sessions of different topics... There is a good mix of people from marketing, management, data analysis and data engineering, etc., and there was something for everyone."
The event has been a great experience overall. Everybody has been very friendly and helpful. We are very glad we came.
Great product updates and keynotes. Loved the roundtables and workshops this week. Definitely a lot of things to take back to our credit union to implement and work on. Thank you all for all your hard work that you put into the summit and the outstanding support that you all provide. We couldn’t do what we do without you!"
