The National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers (NACFB) has revealed both its conference and ‘Meet the Experts’ schedules for the Commercial Finance Expo 2016.
Held in Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre on 15th June, the NACFB will be running a range of conferences throughout the day, including a debate between traditional and alternative lenders, and an audience with the organisation’s partners.
Panellists for the debate will include traditional lenders Lloyds, Santander and Investec, while Funding Circle and Seneca Partners are among those representing alternative lenders.
Later in the day, NACFB partners from NatWest, Aldermore and Keystone Mortgages will be among those hosting discussions with audience members.
Meanwhile, the NACFB’s ‘Meet the Experts’ seminar stage will allow attendees to question a variety of industry specialists, including representatives from Santander, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and challenger bank Shawbrook.
