Benefits of attending

Over the course of this programme, you will hear from some of the world’s most experienced practitioners and academics, meet and network with colleagues from across the industry, and develop your understanding of credit. Most importantly, the conference is a chance for you to test, shape, and share your ideas, away from the day-to-day challenges of meetings, emails, and ‘to do’ lists.

You will have the opportunity participate in:

  • Plenary sessions: hear from keynote speakers and have the opportunity to ask questions.
  • Presentations: hear speakers from credit scoring consultancies, banks and other financial institutions, and universities, with the opportunity to comment and ask questions.
  • Networking: informal and formal opportunities to get to know fellow participants and expand your professional network.

Conference fee

In addition to the presentation programme, the conference fee will include keynote speeches, free pre-conference workshops, delegate networking opportunities, and opportunities to meet with exhibitors, a welcome reception and a conference dinner.

The conference fee includes attendance of workshops in the evening of Tuesday 29 August 2025, starting from 5pm, topics to be announced.
