We are thrilled to announce that the 2026 132nd CLLA National Convention in Chicago was a remarkable success! We sincerely appreciate the valuable insights and connections that blossomed during our time together.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to our esteemed sponsors and presenters. Your contributions not only enriched our discussions but also provided invaluable knowledge to all attendees. Your support is essential for the ongoing growth and success of our community.

We also want to extend our deepest gratitude to all our attendees. Your participation and engagement made this conference truly special. The diverse perspectives and experiences you brought to the table contributed significantly to the richness of our conversations.

We are excited to extend an invitation for you to continue this journey with us at our next event which promises to be another outstanding opportunity to network, learn, and engage with fellow credit professionals from across the nation. We look forward to seeing you there!

Education and networking were in full swing at the 132nd CLLA National Convention! Wednesday began with Legislative Forum and featured an exclusive New Member event followed by a lively Welcome Reception. Great to see so many colleagues catching up and making new connections!

Thursday at the 132nd CLLA National Convention was all about professional growth, featuring a full slate of educational sessions designed to sharpen our industry edge. Beyond the classroom, our networking breaks and luncheons provided the perfect forum for collaborative discussions and strengthening partnerships. Another productive day in the books!

After a packed day of education on Thursday at the 132nd CLLA Convention, attendees wound down with some friendly competition at the CLLA Feud Game and a lively networking reception. The night wrapped up in style, complete with a crowd-pleasing Cannoli Boy, with everyone hitting the floor for a karaoke and dance party.

Friday, the final day of the 132nd CLLA National Convention, opened with a robust lineup of educational sessions, followed by the Annual Luncheon. The luncheon featured the swearing-in of the association’s new leadership and the presentation of annual awards. A special congratulations goes to Gilbert Singer, the distinguished recipient of this year’s prestigious President’s Cup Award!

Great fun was had by all on the optional activity, the Chicago Pizza Tour.
