Conferences making a come-back
Wave goodbye to "Calendar Tetris" and say hello to in- person events this Autumn. During the past 18 months, face-to-face conferences almost completely died out. The pandemic stopped organisers in their tracks, with many events being moved online or canceled altogether. The uncertainty surrounding restric- tions in the UK made it difficult for coor- dinators to arrange anything concrete, without fear of another lockdown or more last-minute changes. Here at LendingMetrics, we under- stand the importance of face-to-face meetings, and conferences in particu- lar, as they give our Business Devel-
opment Team a chance to shine, and to best express their passion for our multi-award-winning platforms, some- thing that - we're sure you'll agree - just doesn't come across in the same way when hiding behind a screen. Confer- ences provide an unrivalled opportunity to meet likeminded people, make new connections and give potential part- ners an overview of what we do without the need to play Calendar Tetris to try arrange yet another Teams meeting. That's why, when we heard that confer- ences were making a come-back this Autumn, we were thrilled for our team to get back on the road, starting with the Consumer Credit Association's Annual Convention at the Titanic Hotel in Liver-
pool. Armed with a brand new banner stand and plenty of pent-up energy, our Business Development Managers headed North with the convention as their first stop before a week of in-per- son meetings and discovery sessions. The event hosted a range of delegates largely from the consumer lending sphere, and provided networking oppor- tunities as well as a way for attendees to learn more about the industry. Our very own Hamish MacCormick gave a presentation about the benefits of Open Banking at the convention, focusing on use cases surrounding the hot-topic of affordability, and followed by a lively Q&A session.
