Technology and social shifts are revolutionizing the landscape of secured lending. Many of the factors driving these changes have accelerated as a result of the pandemic. What will the world of secured finance look like as we emerge from the crisis? Is your business leading, adapting or falling behind?

Who should attend? Those responsible for strategy, planning, process and product development, marketing, technology and operations—and anyone interested in the changing landscape of our work environment.
