Think Big Conference 2019 | Abrigo | 24 September 2019 | Loews Sapphire Falls Resort at Universal Orlando, 6601 Adventure Way, Orlando, FL 32819, USA

Are you managing risk and driving growth at your financial institution? Do you need ideas to think bigger about portfolio risk, CECL, or lending and credit? The ThinkBIG Conference presented by Abrigo was created to give you the educational tools and concrete ideas to Manage Risk. Drive Growth.

Abrigo may be new to you, but this conference and company is comprised of two well-known entities and conferences. ThinkBIG is the combination of the MST National CECL Conference and the Sageworks Lending & Risk Summit. These conferences have been educating lenders and risk professionals for 16 years combined. For 2019 we will have two learning tracks: CECL + Portfolio Risk and Lending + Credit Risk.

The Conference brings together industry thought leaders and experts, financial institution peers, CPAs, auditors and regulators for three days of compelling educational content and networking. Be prepared to Think Bigger with insights and information critical to your lending strategies, mitigating credit risk, and the transition to and implementation of the new allowance accounting standard.

If you have responsibilities related to CECL and the ALLL at your institution, or if you want to know more about how CECL will impact your institution or you want to grow your loan portfolio quicker and more efficiently while driving profitability, this is the one conference this year you cannot afford to miss.
