Virtual Event
As all of you know 2020 has held many obstacles and taken away many celebrated events. Due to the safety and health concerns, CMA decided to postpone CreditScape to 2021 in hopes that the new year would provide more freedom from COVID restrictions, along with the ability to have CreditScape in person in Las Vegas. Unfortunately, not enough progress has happened in fighting against the pandemic and we are still faced with restrictions on multiple fronts.
Due to this, CMA has decided to go live with CreditScape from Las Vegas…Virtually! We have found an amazing virtual platform that will allow us to make CreditScape more interactive, informational, and impactful than ever before.
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.
