Our conferences are unique in that they encourage lenders to personally engage industry leaders, not just hear them speak,\u201d said David G. Kittle, the Collaborative\u2019s vice chairman.<\/p>\n With a heavy focus on relevant, targeted and real-time educational sessions, peer-to-peer networking, thought leadership and exchange of best practices, the summer conference provides members the opportunity to attend and participate in compelling breakout sessions and discussion panels.<\/p>\n As attendees of past conferences hosted by The Mortgage Collaborative have often reported, these are not the \u201csame old\u201d conference sessions. Offering an intimate conference environment and member-driven agenda, members will leave Denver informed, energized and with new ideas and new relationships to better position their organizations in today\u2019s rapidly changing mortgage lending environment.<\/p>\n \u201cOur conferences are redefining the term value proposition,\u201d Kittle added. \u201cThe relationships that are built between our preferred vendor partners, lenders and sponsors have a business value as well as a personal one; they increase margins that are reflected in the bottom line.\u201d<\/p>\n
