"Our 3rd Conference in Tianjin will provide the audience an opportunity to interact with and learn from credit and financial professionals from a multitude of nations, and a variety of backgrounds and experiences. We are also very pleased that the Mayor of Tianjin, Dai Xianglong, is personally committed to the success of this Conference. Mayor Dai, a former governor of the People’s Bank of China, is a progressive leader who has been responsible for spearheading new approaches in the credit process."
The Tianjin conference will focus on credit related issues from four perspectives:
- Enterprise credit management
- International trade credit
- International bank credit
- Government laws and regulations
Professionals from US-based multinationals will be presenting, including such leading corporations as JP Morgan, GE Finance, Corning Cable Systems, Caterpillar (China) Financial Leasing, Celanese Corporation, Wells Fargo, Johnson Electric Group and AIG.
