The International Credit and Trade Finance Association (ICTF), the leading global association for international credit and risk management professionals, is pleased to announce its 28th International Credit Professionals Symposium, taking place May 18–20, 2025, at the prestigious Radisson Blu Béke Hotel in Budapest.

The Symposium will gather senior-level credit, finance, and risk practitioners from across Europe, the Middle East, the Americas, and beyond, for two days of high-level dialogue, expert-led sessions, and powerful networking.

Why Budapest? Why Now?
Budapest was selected as this year’s host city for its strategic location at the crossroads of East and West. As a key gateway to Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), Hungary plays a vital role in the global trade ecosystem. The region continues to offer exciting growth opportunities, but also presents unique challenges for those managing credit and risk across multiple jurisdictions.

“In today’s fast-moving economic and geopolitical environment, it is more important than ever for credit professionals to stay connected, informed, and future-ready,” said Nick Tiltman, Founding Board Member of ICTF. “Budapest represents the ideal location to explore regional risks, new trade corridors, and the digital transformation of trade credit in the CEE region and beyond.”

Just a few of the programme highlights:
Keynote Address: Global Economic Outlook + CEE Regional Focus with István P. Székely, Retired Director at the European Commission and Honorary Professor at Corvinus University.

Best-in-Class Global Credit Management Forum: Sessions on data-driven credit decisions and scalable credit frameworks for multi-country operations.
