CFA's Asset-based Capital Conference 2018 | CFA | 6 February 2018 | Encore at Wynn Las Vegas , 3121 Las Vegas Blvd South, Las Vegas, NV, 89109, US

The Commercial Finance Association's ASSET-BASED CAPITAL CONFERENCE is the must-attend event of the year for anyone involved in the asset-based capital markets. This year, back by popular demand, we will once-again hold a joint reception with the TMA DISTRESSED INVESTING CONFERENCE.

The agenda was crafted to allow ample time for networking and staying in touch with work, while also providing world-class content. NEW: A stress-free structured networking event has been added to Wednesday afternoon. Taking place from 1:45 p.m. – 4:30 p.m., join us for a Poker Party. Featuring a poker table and craps table, instructors will be on-hand to teach you the ins-and-outs of the games. After the lessons, instructors will switch to game mode and you can challenge your colleagues using faux chips. This will lead directly into the Capital Markets Update panel and then the joint reception with the TMA.

In addition, we have sessions examining the state of M&A, collateral valuation, the digital challenge faced by the retail and consumer industries and a discussion on the growth of the private debt market led by industry leading BDC equity analyst, Jonathan Bock. This is one event you won’t want to miss!

The ASSET-BASED CAPITAL CONFERENCE brings together all the key players from the major asset-based market participants. It is the only place where you will find outstanding networking opportunities combined with superior educational presentations geared just for asset-based lenders in the capital markets.
