National Conference 2019

 

The one event any credit professional would never miss is the NZCFI National Conference. This is one of the largest gatherings of credit professionals in New Zealand.

As a national organization with members throughout New Zealand, the NZCFI hosts its conferences in various locations. With leading experts on the most recent developments in the credit industry, this is an educational opportunity that is un-equaled in New Zealand. But the conference is more than learning, it also provides an opportunity for relaxation and networking, with the conference gala dinner on the evening of the first day.
