How does a virtual conference work? Stephanie gives you a tour of the iAST conference center.
You can't separate optimized strategy from tech.
That's why, at iA Strategy & Tech, you'll hear from credit and collections strategy experts with the broadest, most data-informed and practical points-of-view, plus you'll get to vet innovative, applicable new technology - all from your office or home.
Real, Practical Expertise
Combined with tech demos and digital networking
Hear from the experts who can help transform your strategy.
You don't want to spend one unnecessary cent on your accounts. Find out how evolving ideas in strategy, cutting-edge tactics and a sophisticated blend of technology can get you much, much closer to that ideal.
Speakers at this year's iAST will deliver deep, insightful strategy and tech expertise - with a strong emphasis on collections and recovery innovation and analytics. You'll get up-to-the-minute briefings on information / data management, batch processing, digital strategies, artificial intelligence, models, account prioritization, outsourcing strategies (near and off-shore) and much, much more.
See the latest industry tech.
Need to know about new industry tech and how it could aid or transform your strategy? Get the insight you need to assess your technology options right here, where the latest in industry tech will be live on-stage.
iAST demo sessions are not canned presentations or PowerPoint wish fulfillment. Demoing companies must show their product in real time, which means you get to see how these solutions actually work.
We vetted piles of demo applicants to find the newest, most practical or most transformative offerings. Get the industry-wide technology overview you need, all in one place.
The conversations you want will be here.
You’ll join hundreds of senior executives in strategy, operations and tech from across credit and collections as well as tech experts from outside the industry with relevant ideas and insight. And you'll be able to connect with them through multiple digital channels.
Plus, attendees will have access to our networking app, which means that when you hear about or encounter new, potentially relevant tech, you can connect with the executives behind that tech immediately. You won’t find a more networked networking space in the industry.

How It Started
iA Strategy & Tech (virtual in 2020) 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 online, July 21-23.
