Looking for in-depth information on factoring account receivables? The International Factoring Association (IFA) is holding their 15th annual factoring conference April 22-25, 2009, at JW Marriott Grande Lakes in Orlando FL.

This 4 day conference is dedicated to banks, finance companies, and factoring professionals offering financing through factoring. Here are a few of the scheduled sessions that caught my eye:

• Funding Your Factoring Operation
• Tricks of the Trade for Entrepreneurial Factors
• Internet Marketing
• Factoring 101
• Economic Projections affecting the Factoring Industry
• Factoring Around the World
• Small Factors Workshop

The cost to register for the conference is $995 (plus an additional $50 for non IFA members).  If you want to take advantage of the information without the travel and attendance costs IFA usually offers an audio CD.  The CD from last year’s 2008 conference is being offered for just $100 plus many of the speaker handouts can be downloaded in PDF format at no cost!
