The 2025 Funding Conference couldn’t have come at a better time. The event, held April 15 - 17 in Chicago, connects funding sources with equipment finance organizations looking to establish relationships to fulfill their funding needs.
Turnout was strong, with close to 770 equipment finance leaders—including close to 75 funding sources—in attendance. The opportunity to network and do business at this event is critical, noted Sera Oliver, Director of Capital Markets at Key Equipment Finance, and a member of the National Funding Conference Planning Committee.
“There’s no other event like this in the equipment finance industry, where buyers and sellers connect to discuss funding programs and keep current on the latest funding issues,” Oliver said.
