For the first time ever, ELFA is offering the Principles of Equipment Leasing & Finance Workshop as part of the Power of People Summit experience.

This special edition of the workshop is designed for professionals who are new to the equipment finance industry or looking to build a stronger foundation in the fundamentals. Participants will complete the full Principles Workshop curriculum and gain access to select Power of People Summit experiences, including keynotes, luncheons, and networking receptions.

By bringing the workshop into the Power of People Summit, attendees receive more than a classroom experience. They will learn the basics of the equipment finance industry while connecting with peers, industry leaders, and professionals from across the ELFA community.


A Higher-Level Workshop Experience

The Principles Workshop will begin on Wednesday, September 30, at 2:00 PM and run alongside the Power of People Summit. Participants will take part in the complete workshop curriculum and join Power of People attendees for shared programming outlined in the workshop schedule.

This is an ideal opportunity for newcomers to gain practical industry knowledge, expand their professional network, and experience the energy of a larger ELFA event.

  • Build a strong foundation in the fundamentals of equipment leasing and finance.
