Education Information and Registration

We are excited to announce a brand-new format for our Hawaii education program, designed to bring together the brightest minds in the credit industry. This year, instead of a single day-long event, we will host three shorter events throughout the year. This new format will allow for more continuous learning and engagement, and help grow the Industry Groups.

Join us in Honolulu on Friday, February 21 for the first installment of Island Insights!

If you would like to attend Credit Congress or other courses or conferences in the 2025, consider applying for a scholarship award from our Business Credit Foundation. Over many years, money has been given to support professional education through NACM. Today, that money is managed by the Foundation to provide for long term support in cases where members or their companies don't have resources for employees to participate. There are guidelines governing the program and an application process. Just click below for more information about the program.
