27th Annual ABS East 2021 | Information Management Network | 13 December 2021 | Fontainebleau Miami Beach, 4441 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33140, USA

Serving to reconnect the securitization community, the December return to South Florida allows not only for additional vaccine rollout, time to settle back into physical offices and a recovery for corporate travel, but increased opportunity for safe and enjoyable outdoor meetings and entertainment in Miami Beach’s desirable December climate.

The physical portion of the event will be held to the highest standards of safety and health protocols as outlined in our Events Shield, and will be supported by digital access to agenda content and networking for those unable to join us in-person.

As it has in many memorable instances, the securitization industry will once again play a crucial role in the resurgence of the real economy throughout 2021 and 2022. IMN and FIIN are proud that ABS East, in its 27th year and in a convenient blended format, remains a key platform for charting this path forward.
