Reimagining the Future

Throughout this extraordinary year, ELFA members have demonstrated a resilience that has become a hallmark of the equipment finance industry. In response to a host of challenges in 2020—from the health crisis to the resulting economic impact—businesses in our industry have pivoted to meet changing customer and workforce needs. 

At ELFA, we’re pivoting as well, converting our traditional in-person Annual Convention into an interactive virtual event, ELFA 2020 Business LIVE!, on Oct. 27-28. Our first-ever virtual conference will help you discover new ideas, connect with colleagues and prepare for what’s ahead.

In our rapidly changing world, we are all focused on reimagining the future. We hope you will join the ELFA community at ELFA 2020 Business LIVE! to look beyond yesterday’s strategies and seek out new opportunities to position your business for success today and beyond. Learn why you and your entire team—from emerging talent to senior leaders—can’t afford to miss this event here.

In addition to wide-ranging educational sessions, targeted networking opportunities and a multimedia exhibit hall, you won’t want to miss our exclusive keynote speakers:

• Political strategist Donna Brazile will handicap the fall elections and the view from Washington just days before Election Day.
• Economic forecaster Marci Rossell will share her insights on global economic issues and their impact on our businesses and our lives.  
• Geopolitical analyst Peter Zeihan will assess how world trends in demography, economics, energy, politics, technology and more are shaping our future.

Reading the Data 

We take a closer look at the Survey of Equipment Finance Activity in Data on Demand. Many ELFA members are turning to the SEFA Interactive Dashboard, a trove of industry statistics dating back to before the Great Recession. Access this powerful online platform—which is free to all ELFA members—to benchmark your company’s performance, explore new business ideas and more. We thank all the members who respond to the survey each year, without whom this leading industry data source would not be possible.
