The massive, unprecedented shifts in the U.S. marketplace are leaving many businesses looking for ways to better navigate today's fast-moving economic climate. During the two day conference, attendees will get a better understanding of what's happening to their customers, consumers and small businesses, and see how their behaviors are rapidly changing. This is where the data will tell the story.

Equifax and its customers are aware of the challenges associated with making credit decisions for thin-file and credit invisible consumers. Now, with the number of recent layoffs, furloughs, and pay cuts, credit decisioning for thick files has become more challenging as well. Ignite LIVE will help attendees discover how to unleash the potential of alternative data, explainable AI, and various technology platforms to build confidence in determining credit decisions. Topics will include:

• Building Credit Confidence: Better assess credit risk through the use of multiple data dimensions
• Consumer Behaviour Insights: Recent changes in customer profiles and behavior so you can react more quickly
• Beyond the Credit File: Why verified Income and Employment has never been more important to understanding the consumer, Ability to Pay is as important as Likelihood to Pay.

In addition, the conference will challenge attendees to re-think current analytics. Business confidence increases with the right analytics to master multi-dimensional insights for risk management, marketing and fraud.

• Explainable AI, Now?: AI has been in vogue for years, this session will explain why explainable AI driven models and scores are more important now than ever.
