Join your colleagues for the Minnesota Credit Union Network's annual conference, ACCELERATE 23, taking place April 13 & 14, 2023 at the Radisson Blu MOA, Bloomington. MnCUN's biggest event of the year - these 2 days will feature guest speakers, educational sessions, networking, the state’s largest tradeshow and opportunities to support great causes. We're pleased to welcome Casey O'Brien, a native of St Paul, Minnesota, a six-time cancer survivor and widely recognized motivational speaker for his Keynote presentation: "The Three Keys to Overcoming Adversity."

​Casey has taken the three most important traits needed to beat cancer six times and laid them out in a way that can be applied to any obstacle you or your organization is facing. He shares stories from his days in the hospital and his time as a collegiate football player battling cancer. 
​
After being diagnosed with Osteosarcoma, an extremely rare form of bone cancer, at the age of 13, his main goal in life has become inspiring others. After having the cancer relapse in both of his lungs in high school, he made varsity football debut as a Placeholder. He checked into the hospital for chemotherapy the following morning. He later walked on to play football as a Placeholder for Coach PJ Fleck and the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers. Casey played in his first career Big 10 football game at Rutgers on October 19th, 2019. His first play and moment shared with Coach Fleck were covered by ESPN, ABC World News, The Today Show, and more.
