NextBillion - An Initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan

Over 3 days, more than 800 innovators will converge to share cutting-edge strategies and thought leadership on how to shape consumer behavior and build profitable products.

Join us as we explore how design can shape financial wellness through this year’s theme, FinHealth by Design: Building Toward Better. What happens when you put financial health at the center of your strategy?

The evidence is clear. 57% of Americans are struggling financially, and financial institutions, credit unions, technology innovators, and others have the power to meet their needs. Join us at EMERGE as we come together and put financial health strategies in motion to meet today’s consumer needs.

This year, we explore what happens when you put financial health at the center of your strategy. A growing number of organizations are redesigning their businesses around customer well-being, using financial health as a foundation for strategy, product design, customer experience and innovation. As cross-industry visionaries grasp these opportunities, either from the ground up or as a critical pivot point in their business, you’ll hear from design and UX experts, tech innovators, and other thought leaders exploring how this shift can strengthen the financial lives of millions of Americans.

Here’s a few reasons to attend EMERGE this year:

• Insights that matter. As design thinking touches nearly every industry, hear stories from global businesses, design experts, policymakers and other leaders using this approach to solve for financial health. Gain strategies you can use right away as your organization works toward greater financial security for all Americans.
• An unrivaled network. Connect and collaborate with leaders across every corner of the financial services industry who share your commitment to improving financial wellness. The premier event on consumer financial health, EMERGE brings together more than 800 like-minded innovators, providing unique opportunities to build better solutions together.
• An immersive experience. Be inspired by Los Angeles’ vitality as we gather for three days in the heart of Hollywood. Enjoy morning yoga, private events in our guest lounge, and other premium amenities designed to drive conversation and deepen your connections with your industry colleagues.
