POSTPONED
Due to the unknown future and impact of the coronavirus pandemic, we have made the difficult decision of postponing CreditScape to April 28-30, 2021.
We apologize for the inconvenience, but CMA will always value the health and safety of our attendees and their families. We look forward to gathering in the Spring of 2021 and see the faces of our friends and loyal partners.
We will continue to provide updates as the situation is continuously evolving.
If there are any questions or concerns about the postponed CreditScape, please contact Ann Westpy.
About The Event
CreditScape is a unique opportunity where attendees can interact with other credit professionals through peer to peer networking, experiencing expert panelists, and learning from other credit practitioners of many different levels.
While CreditScape features subject-matter experts sharing their experiences with credit practitioners, much of the learning at CreditScape will come from practitioners sharing real-world experiences with each other through workshop-style settings.
