Strike action forces Credit Week date change

The Credit Summit, sponsored by Equifax  originally planned for 16 March, will now take place on 27 April, at QEII London., due to train strikes due to take place on the original date.  

This year the summit will focus on steering a path through the cost-of-living crisis and as recession looms provide the tools for the credit industry to fight back and support its customers. 

The C-suite dinners will now take place on the evening of 26 April.  

Women in Credit TV, a live broadcast that will provide industry benchmarking and first-hand insight into addressing gender inequality has been moved from 15 March to 13 March. 

The Leadership Awards, an evening dedicated to celebrating outstanding individuals and cases of leadership in the industry, has been moved from 16 March to 20 April and will take place at the Hilton London Bankside. 

However, Credit Strategy’s Parliamentary Reception, an exclusive in-person event providing the opportunity to discuss the industry’s regulatory requirements with policymakers, will still be taking place on 14 March. 

If you already have tickets to any of the event above, you do not need to do anything, as your ticket will be automatically transferred to the revised date and an email communication will have been sent.   

If you have not yet purchased tickets for the Credit Summit, then now is the time to do so. We are extending our standard pricing period due to the date change, meaning if you purchase before the end of March, you will save over £100.
