Sageworks, a financial information company that provides lending, credit risk and portfolio risk solutions to banks and credit unions, opened registration for its 2018 Lending & Risk Summit. The Premier banking conference covering the life of loan is set for September 24-26 at the Swissotel in downtown Chicago, Illinois.
Last September, more than 300 bankers and industry experts attended the conference in Denver, Colorado. The sold-out event covered topics ranging from business development strategies through concentration management and CECL prep as institutions transition to expected losses in the ALLL. Attendee feedback was extremely positive, with 97 percent stating they would recommend the Summit to other bankers.
The 2018 Lending & Risk Summit will offer consultative presentations, panels and peer roundtables piloted by industry leaders from around the country. Agenda themes will also continue to expand to include more information on lending and digital-growth strategies for banks and credit unions, a change which prompted the new conference name, Lending & Risk instead of Risk Management Summit.
Registration for the Summit also includes entrance to a networking cocktail reception and Banker Appreciation Night, which will take place the second night of the conference. A limited number of guest passes for these social events are available for purchase.
Back by popular demand, Sageworks Advisory Services team will also offer a select number of complimentary consultation sessions during the Summit to institutions that apply during registration. To learn more about potential consulting session topics, visit the Summit Advisory Services page.
For a limited time, bankers can take advantage of early-bird savings, as much as $300 per person. Event attendees can also take advantage of discounted room rates at the Swissotel while space in the room block permits.
