Bozeman, Mont - Zoot Enterprises, a leading provider of advanced instant credit decisioning and loan origination solutions, announced the 2006 Credit Evaluation Conference. The only industry conference dedicated to credit evaluation will take place on August 15-18, 2006 in Bozeman, Montana. Credit industry participants interested in registering for the conference can visit www.zootweb.com/conference for more details.
The agenda includes five invited keynote speakers, featuring Max Baucus (D/Mont.) of the U.S. Senate Finance Committee, Daniel Chirot, Director and Chair of International Studies at University of Washington and Chris Nelson, Zoot's founder and CEO (a complete schedule of presenters and activities will be available in June). Executive level attendees have the opportunity to meet with speakers for roundtable discussions following each keynote session.
"The Zoot staff has worked very hard to plan an informative, high impact agenda for the financial services industry during the 2006 Credit Evaluation Conference," said Chris Nelson, Zoot CEO and Founder. "This is the only conference dedicated to credit evaluation. We are proud to provide an opportunity for credit officers and financial leaders to build their knowledge base. Of course, Montana's recreational activities will also make the conference an unforgettable experience."
Fraud, compliance, innovative business practices, industry analyst briefings and new technology announcements will be covered in the conference's 24 breakout sessions. Sessions will also include case studies, theory discussions, in-depth technology presentations and panel discussions. Analysts from TowerGroup and Financial Insights are expected to discuss industry trends.
Zoot will host much of the conference at its state-of-the-art, 150,000 sq.ft. facility and the event schedule will allow attendees to enjoy Montana's remarkable environment. A series of creative networking opportunities include activities such as whitewater rafting, golf, fly-fishing, and a wildlife tour of the 113,000 acre Flying-D Ranch. Also planned is the "Zoot Comedy Club," a unique opportunity for participants to enjoy credit-themed comedy while networking with colleagues and Zoot employees. A keynote presentation the final evening will kick off a Montana-style barbeque. All activities are included in the conference fee.
Nelson continued, "The staff is passionate about service and tenacious about solving our clients' business problems. We look forward to welcoming the industry and our clients to our third conference, and we fully expect it to be our most successful and well attended. The 2006 Credit Evaluation Conference is also a great opportunity to ask our clients and partners what they need in terms of technology and support. We hope it will be an educational experience and forum to discuss industry impacting strategies and how Zoot's products and services can further enhance their businesses."
