P&A Industry Forums & Focus Groups

Laurie Beagle FICM, FACP, Divisional Director brings a wealth of knowledge in the running and development of forums for credit and risk managers. Now together with key industry sponsors and partners the forums are producing significant benefits to the attendees. They are addressing current and future business challenges as well as creating a ‘quality assured’ network and access to experts the members can trust.

The individual forums meet on a regular basis to discuss and gather information as well as sharing experiences on trading in specific geographic regions and markets.
