Vendor Finance Summit 2008
Hilton Arc de Triomphe - 10 June - Paris

Leveraging the Long Term Customer Relationship

With the liquidity crisis still lingering on the financial markets and the increasing credit risk for vendor programmes, the Vendor Finance Summit 2008 will shed light on how the economic scenario will impact the Captive and Vendor Finance Industry and look at innovative approaches to these urgent challenges.

Featuring case studies from industry leaders, including De Lage Landen, GE Capital Solutions IBM Global Financial Services and Unicredit Global Leasing,the Summit will focus on how to leverage the long term customer relationship through innovative approaches across processes, back office systems, asset and portfolio management.

The choice of the right business partner and key aspects for a winning vendor programme will be taken into account from a manufacturer’s perspective in an effort to give more voice to vendors.

In spite of the many challenges ahead, emerging assets like Waste and Renewable Energy Equipment, and markets like Russia and the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, present good opportunities of improved profitability for finance companies with the right approach.
