About the IT Distributors & Resellers Credit Forum:
The IT Distributors & Resellers Credit Forum (DRF) was formed in 2003 in conjunction with our Corporate Partner, Graydon, leading provider of business data, insights, analytics and solutions. It focuses primarily on credit, collections, risk management and fraud prevention. Aiming to equip members with the practical tools they need to meet the challenges of a changing business environment, and add value to their roles.
The objectives of the forum are to:
- Share experiences and draw on each others’ knowledge.
- Develop and enhance best and new practice in credit and risk management.
- Improve skill levels.
- Provide access to a network of like-minded professionals and relevant industry experts by bringing together the leading names within the industry.
It’s different because…
The IT Distribution & Resellers Credit Forum is not an ad-hoc event with business development aims. It is a genuine and lasting community of peers with common interests and goals.
We are are devoted to encouraging the sharing of vital and valid information and intelligence to our members. The key aim of the forum is to assist businesses in making more informed credit risk decisions and prevent them falling victim to commercial fraud and financial crime.
Attendees of the Forum can expect open conversations, presentations from industry specialist and expert workshops. Members of the forum will also get access to secure members’ communication channels including our Forums International Ltd LinkedIn group.
