SFNet’s Annual Convention, now in its 77th year, is the premier conference for secured lenders and the allied service providers who move our industry forward. We’re thrilled to be back in-person after several challenging months that tested our strength and resiliency. Our industry not only coped, but found creative ways to thrive in the midst of an unprecedented pandemic. Our conference theme - Adapt. Renew. Grow. reflects this reality. Attendees will come away with strategies to thrive in a post-COVID environment. They’ll also get a chance to re-energize and reconnect in the perfect Arizona weather. The live conference will allow unprecedented time for networking and deal making.
