The event attracts top professionals from across the credit industry, including finance directors, credit managers, risk analysts, and policy-makers. For the North American credit community, this is an invaluable chance to build relationships with peers and experts from around the world.
Gordon Cessford’s involvement in the WCCE as a speaker is particularly noteworthy. His insights and experiences in the North American market offer a valuable perspective to the global audience, while also giving North American attendees the opportunity to engage directly with one of the region’s leading figures in credit management. This level of access to thought leaders and influencers is one of the key draws of the WCCE.
Driving Innovation and Excellence
The World Credit Congress is not just about sharing knowledge—it’s about driving innovation and excellence within the credit industry. The Global Credit Awards, which are a highlight of the event, recognize outstanding achievements and advancements in credit management across various categories. For North American credit professionals, these awards offer a benchmark of excellence and an opportunity to showcase their successes on a global stage.
Cessford notes in his Outlook interview that companies like Atradius are catalysts for innovation, pushing credit professionals to think beyond traditional approaches and embrace new technologies and methodologies. This is even more apparent since the end of the pandemic.
