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

The next 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 new online version of the 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.
