This year Experian is celebrating its 15th annual conference.
The conference is to be held at Zimbali Lodge, KwaZulu-Natal, from 19 to 21 September. As one of southern Africa's leading credit conferences, the Experian annual conference is a long-established and highly-regarded industry event that brings together industry experts from South Africa and around the globe, to share their insights on today's most pertinent credit topics.
In the past 15 years, the conference has hosted delegates and speakers from all the major banks, retailers and telecommunication companies in South Africa and around the world. It provides delegates with an opportunity to not only leverage from the knowledge of industry specialists, but to network with other senior professionals within the industry.
Over the last few years, the South African credit landscape has been marked by continuous change - shifting markets, a dynamic economy, variable interest rates and new legislation, all impacting the way industry players do business.
But change is inherent to any business environment, thus managing and responding to change is a business fundamental. This year's conference looks forward to opportunities to optimise strategies, strengthen customer relationships and gain competitive advantage within the evolving credit environment.
This year's presentations and panel discussions draw from the knowledge and experience of industry experts, clients and the Experian global team.
Key themes include:
* Practical examples which minimise risk and maximise reward;
* Global trends; and
* Taking advantage of data and the latest technology to make more informed decisions.
