If you’ve been planning to attend the 2026 California Credit Union Collectors Council (CCUCC) Conference but haven’t registered yet, now is the time.
Early Bird Registration pricing expires on August 14, after which conference registration rates will increase.
The response to this year’s conference has been exceptional. Organizers report that attendee registrations are already well ahead of where they were at this point last year, a strong indication that this year’s event is shaping up to be one of the most successful CCUCC conferences yet.
That momentum has been evident throughout the planning process. Earlier this summer, CCUCC announced that exhibitor space was filling quickly. Today, all sponsor exhibit tables have been sold, demonstrating the tremendous support the conference continues to receive from industry partners and reinforcing the value professionals place on this annual gathering.
A Weekend of Education and Industry Insight

This year’s conference will once again bring together credit union collections professionals from across the country for several days of education, collaboration, networking, and practical discussions focused on today’s most pressing challenges and opportunities.
Among this year’s featured presentations is Saturday’s keynote address by Don Arkell, whose dynamic speaking style and decades of leadership experience have made him a favorite among audiences throughout the financial services industry. His keynote promises to deliver valuable insights, practical strategies, and an engaging perspective that attendees won’t want to miss.
Whether you’re looking to sharpen your collections strategies, learn from industry experts, connect with peers, or discover new solutions from leading service providers, CCUCC 2026 offers outstanding opportunities to invest in your professional growth.

Registration & Hotel Demand Continue to Climb

There continues to be strong early demand for this year’s conference, with more than 70% of exhibit space already sold and attendee registrations trending ahead of prior years.
The event’s host property, the Anaheim Marriott, is also expected to fill quickly as conference activity increases. Attendees are strongly encouraged to reserve accommodations early while conference room block availability remains open.
With a growing speaker lineup, expanding exhibitor participation, and nearly four decades of industry history behind it, the 2026 conference is shaping up to be one of the strongest CCUCC events to date.
Host Hotel & Accommodations
This year’s conference will be hosted at the Anaheim Marriott, offering attendees a centralized and convenient experience in the heart of the convention district.

The property provides:
- Full-service accommodations designed for business and conference travel
- On-site meeting and ballroom space for sessions and networking
- Immediate proximity to dining, entertainment, and major Anaheim attractions

A dedicated conference room block is available for attendees, making it easy to stay connected to all event activities while maximizing networking opportunities throughout the event.
Booking early is highly recommended, as room blocks tend to fill quickly alongside rising registration demand.
Why This Conference Matters Now
From rising delinquencies to increasing regulatory scrutiny, the collections and recovery sector is under pressure to evolve. This conference provides a focused environment to tackle those challenges head-on, with discussions centered around:
- Operational efficiency in a tightening margin environment
- Vendor relationships and accountability
- Technology’s growing role in recovery workflows
- Human factors—training, retention, and field decision-making
Just as important, it creates space for the candid, off-the-record conversations that often drive real change.
Final Takeaway: Don’t Wait
With 39 years of industry impact, a fast-selling exhibit hall, strong early registration trends, and a keynote lineup led by Don Arkell, this year’s conference is shaping up to be one of the most consequential yet.
Early registration isn’t just recommended—it may be necessary.
Between limited exhibit space, accelerating attendee demand, and a filling hotel block, those planning to attend should secure their spot—and their room—now.
