WEBINAR SERIES

SCDM’s Leadership Webinar Series for early 2021 features two webinars guiding you through all things CDM. They will offer many things: insightful, informative, challenging and, of course, inspiring.

The first webinar in the series is entitled “2020’s Biggest Game Changers Revealed” is a live interactive event that will allow polling and live chat, with moderators; similar to the SCDM Virtual Annual Conference plenary experience. The Annual Conference key highlights will be the basis for this inspiring webinar.

KEY TOPICS:

  • AI and ML moderated by Ian Schafer
  • Decentralized and Regulator moderated by Jonathan Andrus
  • Leadership, RBQM by Catherine Celingant

The ultimate question will be – how does the future look like beyond COVID19 and all that comes with it? How is it going to look like being part of this industry in tomorrow’s world?

Our second webinar picks up the CDM story from where the first one left off. It builds on SCDM’s successful year beginning tradition of delivering insightful intelligence as well as presenting its agenda for the coming year. Presented by SCDM’s Chair for 2021, Sanjay Bhardwaj, the webinar is entitled “So Much for the Game Changers… What’s Next for CDM?“.

2020’S Biggest Game Changers Revealed

Thursday, 21 January 2021
7:00 PST | 10:00 EST | 16:00 CET | 19:30 IST
Session Duration: 90 minutes

2020 was a year like no other for the CDM industry. The last 12 months have seen an unprecedented amount of disruption made even more significant by the Coronavirus pandemic. However, if the past year has taught us something, it is that we must always challenge the status quo, we must experiment and we must seek to thrive in the face of adversity. For the CDM industry, 2020 was a year in which we achieved all of these – and a whole lot more.

Join industry leaders in an insightful conversation as to how the industry’s accomplishments and SCDM’s work has shaped the future of our sector.
