Independent Mortgage Bankers Conference 2018 | Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) | 22 January 2018 | The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island, 4750 Amelia Island Pkwy, Fernandina Beach, FL 32034, US

MBA’s Independent Mortgage Bankers (IMB) Conference brings together the largest contingent of non-bank mortgage lenders each year. A great way to kick off 2018, this popular event, which is shaped by IMB leaders, will take place on Florida's beautiful Amelia Island, just a short drive from Jacksonville.

As an IMB, you are constantly looking for market opportunity. The sessions at this conference are tailored to give you information about trends and programs to help adjust your product mix and reach new markets. Our program will also cover technology topics, including digital mortgage, fintech and regtech, to help you gain a competitive advantage through improved efficiency, cutting costs and enhancing customer experience.

Because today’s political and regulatory environment leaves independent mortgage bankers facing looming unknowns, we will also cover those issues. Sessions will address the latest in GSE reform, changes at CFPB, FHA and Ginnie Mae, as well as possible deregulation, tax reform and much more.

With relevant educational sessions and unmatched networking opportunities, our attendees return to this highly anticipated event, year after year, and our member executives appreciate the opportunity to connect with their peers.
