Why attend

Lending is evolving faster than ever before. To stay ahead, you need more than ideas—you need proven strategies, practical playbooks, and a network of peers who are facing the same challenges you are.

Practical solutions you can use now

Our agenda goes beyond high-level talks. Sessions are built around the issues that matter most to lending organizations today—decisioning, risk, growth, and compliance.

Learn from the best

Hear from industry leaders, regulators, and innovators who are shaping the future of lending.

Curated networking

Connect with peers in structured workshops and informal settings. Share what’s working, learn from others, and build relationships that last beyond the event.

An unmatched experience

Hosted at the stunning Bishop’s Lodge in Santa Fe, the conference combines content, networking, and hospitality into one seamless experience.

What to expect

Lending is evolving faster than ever before. To stay ahead, you need more than ideas—you need proven strategies, practical playbooks, and a network of peers who are facing the same challenges you are.
