Now in its 12th year, Euromoney's Annual Syndicated Loans Conference has been the most comprehensive and dynamic forum for the syndicated loan industry in Europe. As the market continues to recover from the financial crisis, the 2010 event is sure to be groundbreaking in the information that it will provide to loan professionals. 

The current financial climate has prompted a change in the priorities of professionals in syndicated lending. Prior to the market's turmoil, many considered syndicated lending immune to the crisis. Strategies to minimize risk (credit, underwriting, refinancing, and currency risk) are at the top of the agenda. In a financial landscape that is continually in flux, you can't afford to miss the 12th Annual Syndicated Loans Conference.
