Annual National Funding Conference

Facilitating Funding for the Equipment Finance Industry for 37 Years 

The 37th Annual National Funding Conference has reached an extraordinary milestone, with nearly 800 registrants and 73 funding sources - both all-time records. This remarkable growth reflects sustained momentum, with attendance increasing by approximately 20% over the past five years.

Equally exciting is the strong sense of community the conference continues to foster. This year’s audience is a dynamic blend of familiar faces and new participants, with 86% returning attendees and 14% joining us for the first time - further strengthening the depth and reach of this premier industry gathering.

Unparalleled Opportunities for Funding Sources and Exhibitors
