The return of the in-person Commercial Credit & Collections Conference series will take place on Thursday 20th November at the Midland Hotel in Manchester. This will be second event of the year, the first event will take place on Thursday 22nd May in York. Details can be found here.

The Commercial Credit & Collections Conference series focuses on the latest updates in credit management and insolvency.

The Autumn edition of the conference will provide Credit Managers and FDs with access to credit management and insolvency-related advice. The Commercial Credit & Collections conferences are a platform to learn more about new industry services, products, the latest technology and best practice.

About: This event seeks to create an engaging environment with the aim of enabling all participants to learn about forthcoming technological innovations and industry developments within commercial credit management. Lenders, creditors and collections specialists will discuss, debate and dissect regulatory and thematic business challenges whilst discussing the benefits of technological innovation.
Format: The conference is slightly different from the traditional webinar set-up with the event focused upon a series of panel sessions with no individual sales pitch presentations.
