iconicchain is heading to Washington, D.C. for the IACPM 2026 Annual Fall Conference between November 18-20. CEO András Vajda and Managing Director Eric Andersson will spend two days at the Fairmont Washington, D.C. Georgetown with the people who decide how banks measure, hedge and transfer credit risk.
For a company whose product exists to run significant risk transfer (SRT) and securitization programs,but it’s actively used for portfolio management, this is as close to the core audience as a conference gets. After Berlin and London this autumn, Washington closes the year of conferences on the US side of the market where issuance has grown fastest.
Two days with people who own the risk
András has spent most of 2026 in rooms with credit portfolio managers around Europe and the US, and he says the conversation keeps landing in the same place.
“The deal gets done, everyone celebrates, and then someone has to run it for the next seven years. Replenishments, waterfall calculations, trigger tests, investor reports, and regulatory templates. In most banks that work still sits in spreadsheets with a small team that everybody depends on. Credit portfolio managers know this better than anyone, because they are the ones who get the call when a number does not reconcile.”
He also sees IACPM as a different kind of event from the deal conferences.
“IACPM provides interesting data on this market, and therefore practitioners compare notes. We are not going there to present. We are going there to listen to how US banks are organizing their programs, and to showcase, leveraging the success of our existing US customers, that our solution fits the way they work.”
For Eric, the timing on the US side is the point.
“Two years ago, the US market was a handful of SRT issuers. Now the banks we talk to are not asking whether to do SRT. They are asking how to do their third or fourth transaction without doubling the operations team, and how to show their regulator and their investors that the program is under control. We want to meet the teams who are at exactly that point, and the ones who are one board meeting away from it.”
Meet us in Washington
