Dedapulse
Accelerate Your Business
Deda’s energy that accelerates to
transform the present into the future
Dedapulse was the first exclusive flagship event powered by Deda, bringing together customers from across our US credit unions, teams, thought leaders, and partners in a unique way to discuss next-gen tech trends, rapidly changing markets and business, and the impact of innovation on our present and future.
We hosted an exciting lineup of speakers, product sessions, networking opportunities, and innovative ideas. This inaugural event marked the beginning of a new era in accelerating business together, uniting Deda Sphere customers in one place.
Our teams welcomed participants to a day filled with insightful presentations, product and partner showcases, and meaningful connections. Dedapulse in Dallas was an extraordinary moment of collaboration and inspiration.

“At Cornerstone Community Federal Credit Union, technology is about more than innovation – it’s about access. By leveraging digital banking and shared branching, we give members the freedom to manage their finances anytime, anywhere, while reducing barriers and costs. Our partnership with Deda allows us to deliver customized solutions, like our rewards program, without additional expense – proving that smart, member-focused innovation strengthens communities, supports local growth, and directly benefits the people we serve.”
Eric Hepkins
CEO at Cornerstone Community Federal Credit Union
“Technology is more than a tool for efficiency, it’s a catalyst for regional and community growth. When used intentionally, digital innovation can open doors for people and small businesses that might otherwise be left behind. At Legacy Community FCU, this means combining data, digital banking, and AI-driven tools with a proactive, human-centered mindset to meet member needs faster and more personally. By scaling access while keeping relationships at the heart of everything, technology helps credit unions turn a community-first vision into tangible impact.”
