Proactive, Predictive, Powerful: AI for Modern Credit Teams
Presented by Sidetrade & CRF
Tuesday, December 2, 2025 – 3:00pm ET
In the current economic environment, companies are deliberately paying later to preserve their own working capital — so static methods of cash forecasting no longer reflect reality. Credit teams must do more than react to late payments; they need to forecast and act proactively.
This webinar explores how artificial intelligence and collective intelligence empower credit professionals to identify risk early, forecast receivables accurately, and prioritize collection strategies effectively. We’ll show how integrating ERP data, benchmarking, and AI-driven insights enables teams to turn data into action — achieving productivity, precision, and foresight in credit management.
Speaker:
Elaine Nowak, Global VP of Product Marketing – Sidetrade
Frank Buck, O2C AI Product Manager – Sidetrade

Tariffs as a Catalyst for Financial Distress and Bankruptcy or a Driver of Value
Presented by Lowenstein Sandler LLP & CRF
Tuesday, December 4, 2025 – 3:00pm ET
Tariffs have become a hot issue in the current administration’s economic policy, sparking significant news coverage, legal battles and heated debates.
To kick off this webinar, our expert speakers will share an insightful overview of the tariffs currently in effect and the challenges to the tariffs currently pending in the Unites Sates Supreme Court.. There will then be a discussion of the impact of tariffs on various industries, including retail, automotive, solar, pharmaceuticals and other manufacturing, trucking, farming, small businesses and companies that are already highly leveraged and financially distressed.
The speakers will then explore how tariffs have heightened the risk of bankruptcy filings in these sectors and provide examples of bankruptcy filings where tariffs have played a contributory role. The speakers will then discuss contract provisions that can protect buyers and sellers of goods confronting heightened tariff risk. Finally the speakers will discuss how tariffs can potentially enhance a company’s value both in and out of bankruptcy.
This promises to be an enlightening and engaging session.

Agentic AI is a transformative approach that integrates autonomy and intelligence to revolutionize credit risk assessment. Agentic AI matters now – it provides strategic benefits, ROI centered goals, and it positions companies for future resilience.
