Innovation Incubator

The Innovation Incubator at the 2025 VISION Conference, held at The Grand Hotel Golf Resort & Spa in Point Clear, Alabama, from August 18-20, provides a unique platform for showcasing cutting-edge ideas and solutions to credit union professionals. This dedicated space within the conference, presented by FiLab at Filene, offers a dynamic environment for companies to demonstrate their latest innovations.

Selected participants will have the opportunity to engage directly with conference attendees during designated hours. The Innovation Incubator is designed to facilitate meaningful interactions, allowing attendees to explore and understand the potential of these new offerings.

Participants will be provided with a dedicated area, including two six-foot skirted tables, two chairs, and a waste basket, situated outside the Exhibit Hall. This branded space is specifically designed to maximize attendee interaction and engagement. Up to five of these spaces will be provided for the FiLab cohort.

The showcased ideas and solutions will be evaluated by attendees, who will vote on those they believe offer the greatest potential benefit to their members. The winning solution, determined by attendee votes, will be announced at the conclusion of the VISION Conference on Wednesday, August 20, and subsequently featured in The League Insider Newsletter.

The Innovation Incubator aims to highlight robust and compelling ideas that introduce novelty, innovation, and substantial value to the credit union industry. It serves as a forum for exploring groundbreaking solutions and fostering collaboration between credit unions and innovative companies. The selection process emphasizes the uniqueness and originality of the presented solutions, their potential impact on the industry, their compatibility with existing networks, and their overall ability to generate excitement among attendees.
