Credit Research Foundation Forum 2026

The Forum takes place at the Scottsdale Marriott at McDowell Mountains in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The organizer identifies senior finance leaders, economists, practitioners, and subject-matter experts as attendees.

It is most useful for credit, collections and order-to-cash managers and their senior finance leaders, since the program covers commercial credit, risk and leadership and brings economists and subject-matter experts alongside practitioners. With Moody's among the listed speakers and this being the last in-person Forum of 2026, it suits those who want peer exchange on credit risk; staff in sales, treasury or general accounting with no credit responsibility would get less from it.

Attendees at finance and credit conferences usually wear business casual, with slacks and collared shirts, and resort locations in Arizona lean more relaxed than city events. Late October in Scottsdale is warm by day, so light fabrics help, with a layer for air-conditioned meeting rooms.
