Dear GoWest Credit Union Advocates,

It is time to begin preparing to join your credit union colleagues in Washington, D.C., for the all-important 2026 America’s Credit Unions National Governmental Affairs Conference (GAC), which will take place March 1-5, 2026. Together, we will advocate for critical policy issues and deliver pivotal credit union messaging to members of the 119th Congress and key federal officials. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect and stand with your credit union family in Washington, D.C. — make your plans to join us next March!

The first step in preparing for the 2026 ACU GAC is to secure your room at one of the convention hotels that have been reserved for the GoWest family by ACU.  

The 2026 ACU National GAC room block is officially open! To secure your room, please access the hotel room block information provided below and take action as soon as possible, as the room blocks will fill up very quickly. In addition, it’s a good time to book flights and register for the GAC.
