Sageworks hosts biggest Summit yet

RALEIGH, NC (October 4, 2017) — Sageworks announced today that the company’s annual Risk Management Summit concluded last week in Denver, CO, and attracted the largest crowd yet of bank and credit union executives. The sold-out event centered on the life of the loan, from business development strategies through concentration management and CECL prep as institutions transition to expected losses in the ALLL.

Sageworks, which provides software and information that make financial decisions easier, hosted the conference in the Mile High City and drew more than 300 bankers to talk about loan-portfolio optimization and risk mitigation. The audience included senior credit and lending professionals, accounting and finance professionals from banks and executive leadership.

At the conclusion of the event, attendees participated in a survey of the event:

100% of attendees said the Sageworks Summit offered an excellent opportunity to network and collaborate with peers.
100% of attendees said the Sageworks Summit speakers were professional, knowledgeable and effective.
98% of attendees would recommend the Sageworks Summit to other executives.

For those who were unable to attend, Sageworks released the top 5 takeaways, which include notes from speakers at Sageworks, CEIS Review, Clarity Advantage and SMARTER Risk Management.

Sageworks also announced the location for next year’s conference. In 2018, the event will take place September 24-26 in Chicago, IL. A call for speakers will open later this year, and registration will be open by December 31, 2017. To learn more about Sageworks and the Summit, visit www.sageworks.com/summit.
