ECF credit pow-wow shaping up

European Credit Forum's 43rd meeting next month promises 'lively and frank' discussion

Laurie Beagle: Everyone will learn something new at the Dublin ECF meeting

The European Credit Forum’s (ECF) 43rd meeting is gearing up for a heated debate on top issues facing credit managers in the IT sector.

Due to meet on Thursday 16 and Friday 17 September in Dublin, the ECF, which is aimed at senior credit mangers within distributors and vendors, will discuss future challenges and opportunities for the credit sector.

Credit management and debt recovery firm P&A Receivables will also present the findings of its first ever credit management study for the IT sector, and delegates will hear keynotes from a number of industry bigwigs including P&A’s own Laurie Beagle, and Nick Tiltman from European Plus.

Beagle said: “There is a lot to talk about right now; the growing threat from fraudsters, the prospect of more business failures, tightening credit insurance and bank lending, an increase in M&A activity and the continuing impact of economic uncertainty and forex fluctuations are just a few.

“These are all subjects that give credit managers in the IT industry real cause for concern at the moment. There has probably never been a better time for them to come together and share their views and discuss strategies so we’re expecting a lively and frank exchange of views and opinions. Everyone is going to learn something new at the ECF meeting in Dublin.”

Beagle added that anyone who can add input and value to discussions is welcome to come along. Attending a forum for the first time is free to eligible companies. To find out more email [email protected].
