During 2020, a year which has brought such challenging times we see the Credit Festival as an opportunity to unite credit professionals across multiple sectors. We’re happy to play a fundamental role in sharing best practice on credit risk, digital transformation, vulnerability and so much more. Being able to share challenges and solutions in this time of transformation has never been more important.
Comprising of four themed weeks, each week groups together events where audiences will have similar interests, be able to share similar experiences, and where members can network more effectively with their peers.
A month-long series of digital broadcasts, Credit Festival will feature conferences, awards presentations and webinars. Running from November 3 to November 27, the festival will feature 13 separate conferences, including more than 80 sessions featuring over 200 speakers, and award programmes for multiple sectors and professions.
