About iA Strategy & Tech
iA Strategy & Tech is a new event from iA, the premier resource for handcrafted credit and collections news, analysis and events.
This event is a significant expansion and redesign of our long-standing and well-regarded conference, the First Party Summit. As strategy and technology became a bigger and bigger part of the Summit's agenda, we realized we had to give this event a much broader scope. Well, here it is. If you valued the content and engagement at the First Party Summit, you're going to love iA Strategy & Tech. We hope to see you in Austin in June.
