Session Highlights

Join us this August in Denver for a must-attend forum designed for today’s credit and revenue cycle leaders alongside an Expo featuring the industry’s leading service providers.

This year’s agenda brings together top OTC providers, forward-thinking practitioners, fintech innovators, and leading legal and bankruptcy experts to deliver timely, real-world insight on managing risk in an increasingly uncertain economic environment.

Sessions will span the full spectrum—from the evolving impact of private credit to first and third-party collections best practices and economic pressure on receivables. Practitioners will share proven strategies on hiring for the right skill sets – including grit – and strengthening your influence in critical areas such as transition services agreements.

Fintech and innovation take center stage, with focused discussions on the latest advancements in AI and automation and how leading organizations are using these tools to drive efficiency, streamline operations, and modernize the order-to-cash process. You’ll gain clear, practical insight into where these technologies are delivering measurable results and where caution is warranted.

Building on last year’s risk mitigation program, we will again offer a dedicated Educational Certificate Program, this year focused on transformational initiatives. Sessions will cover AI applications, change management, and how to build credible, career-enhancing business cases that stand up to executive scrutiny, all designed to elevate your impact!

Educational Certificate Program

AI in Credit & Order-to-Cash: Execution, Use Cases, ROI, and Governance for Finance Leaders

AI is rapidly reshaping credit and order-to-cash operations, but separating real value from hype remains a challenge.

Participants will learn how to build a credible business case, lead successful transformation initiatives, and implement AI with the right governance, controls, and accountability. The focus is on execution—turning strategy into results that improve cash flow, reduce risk, and drive operational efficiency.

This program was developed specifically for attendees at the 2026 August Forum & EXPO. Registration is INCLUDED with your Forum registration – no additional fee is required.
