In an environment defined by rapid change, regulatory complexity, and evolving workforce expectations, senior leaders in the equipment leasing and finance industry need more than updates. They need perspective, peer insight, and strategic dialogue. That’s why, for over 15 years, the Equipment Leasing & Finance Association has held the Executive Roundtable.
This premier event brings together high level executives from ELFA member companies to have candid conversations, set forward-looking strategies, and make meaningful connections.
A Forum Built for Strategic Leadership
The Executive Roundtable is intentionally structured to be intimate, so members can foster deep discussions, test ideas, and learn from one another’s experiences.
Timely Topics Driving the Industry Forward
This year’s agenda addresses the most pressing and complex topics facing executive leadership today, including sessions on the industry’s policy landscape, the outlook for the 2026 economy, strategies for growing small businesses, and setting ELFA’s research agenda.
Visionary Voices Shaping the Future of Leadership and Innovation
The Executive Roundtable will feature an exceptional lineup of keynote speakers offering insight into leadership, innovation, and economic trends shaping the equipment finance industry and beyond. Members will hear from Amazon bestselling author Dan Varroney, President and CEO of Potomac Core, a nationally recognized expert on driving growth and strengthening small businesses. Professor Richard Susskind OBE, renowned author, adviser, and global authority on legal technology, will share his perspective on how technology is fundamentally transforming the work of human experts across service-based industries—expertise that earned him appointment to the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II. Rounding out the keynote program, economist Tim Mahedy will provide timely economic updates to help leaders navigate the evolving business and financial landscape with confidence.
Driving the Research That Drives the Industry
Executive Roundtable attendees will have the opportunity to directly influence ELFA’s research agenda by collaborating with Research Chair David Normandin and economist Jeff Jensen.
