North American Conference Toronto December 2016

GCD's first Canadian Conference in Toronto was a great success with over 80 attendees from Canada, US and Europe. Given the current focus of banks, it was no surprise that the wish of the members was to focus on IFRS 9 / CECL and how GCD data can be used for that. Thanks to our host Bank of Nova Scotia, all the attendees and presenters for participating!
