Credit Congress is the perfect opportunity at which to develop and strengthen relationships that will expand your professional resources by creating valuable connections. Consider attending these events to grow your professional network:

On Saturday May 21, enjoy a special offering unique to Nashville at the NACM’s professional designation holders and NACM Graduate School alumni event. Gather with old friends and potential contacts for a Songwriter’s Showcase over casual fare and drinks in Opryland. A Songwriter’s Showcase, made famous by Nashville’s own Bluebird Café, is an intimate look into the art of songwriting. Up-and-coming artists try out their songs, sharing the muse behind and meaning of their creations. Attendees get a rare treat, a glimpse into the creative force behind Music City and the hits that we hear on the radio, the songwriters.

The stunning Gaylord Springs® Golf Links is the site of this year’s 6th Annual NACM Scholarship Foundation Golf Outing. On Sunday, May 22, attendees can both support the NACM Scholarship Foundation and test their skill on the links as they meet new faces in this casual setting. After a (hopefully relaxing) round of golf, participants gather for a barbeque lunch to swap stories and exchange business cards. Proceeds from this event benefit the NACM Scholarship Foundation, Inc. For more information on the event, please click here.

NACM’s international arm, Finance, Credit and International Business (FCIB), hosts its annual luncheon for those involved in international credit on Monday, May 23. The FCIB Luncheon is an essential forum at which to network with international credit and trade finance executives.
