This program is enhanced by an exposition of products and services offered by industry suppliers and AFSA Business Partners. Many networking special events are also planned, including an AFSAPAC fundraising event.

This conference is held in conjunction with the AFSA Board of Directors Meeting and several other AFSA committees and boards. Special group discounts are offered for large company group attendance.

Attendees are CEOs and senior executives from independently owned finance companies, and industry suppliers and representatives from major financial services companies who are interested in networking with independent operators.
