Online Commercial Credit & Collections Conference, Tuesday 14th June

The latest version of the Commercial Credit & Collections Conference series will take place on Tuesday 14th June online.

The event has run as a face to face event in 2019 and 2020 and as a virtual event in 2021. The latest edition of the event will be available again to view online in June 2022.

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. 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.
