Listicle: Autumn’s Virtual Expo

In June, the NACFB held its first Virtual Expo, which saw nearly 1,800 delegates participate on the day. Off the back of its success, the Association is returning with an even bigger and better online event this autumn – featuring more insight, a live expert panel session, and a wider range of content exclusive to attendees.

Finance professionals will be able to access the event from 11.00am on Wednesday 28 th October. Once live, you will be able to view – and engage with – a live panel session featuring industry titans who will assess just how pivotal the commercial finance community will be in Moving Britain Forward.

The autumn Virtual Expo will be free to view, but you will need to pre-register as the event requires a password to enter, the password will be sent on the morning of the event. You can register online at commercialfinanceexpo.co.uk

And in case you needed any more persuading, we’ve complied just five reasons why you should put Wednesday 28 th October in your diary.

Featuring industry leaders from across the finance landscape, the event’s virtual panel session will explore the challenges the market is currently facing as well as a look to the future. To help spark debate further, this panel session will be hosted live to allow viewers to ask questions and share their views.

Attendees will be offered the opportunity to take part in virtual roundtables with the Association’s support sponsors. Participants will be able to join a table virtually and partake in a ‘commercial clinic’ with representatives from across the lending spectrum. The sessions will be live and provide a platform for deal discussion, product updates, and networking.

As well as the live content for you to explore throughout the day there will also be a whole host of exclusive content from all the exhibitors already signed up to exhibit at March’s physical NACFB Expo. Treat the virtual day as you would the physical NACFB Expo and be sure to engage with the exhibiting lenders.

The Association will also be unveiling the shortlist for the first ever virtual NACFB Patron Awards. The awards will seek to formally recognise those lenders that have supported the trade body’s Members throughout the pandemic, and you can be among the first to find out who features on this year’s shortlist.

With the events landscape not looking quite like we had planned for 2020, we have been working hard to ensure that we can kickstart 2021 with a jammed-packed events calendar. The NACFB’s 2021 events calendar will be launched at our Virtual Expo. Be sure to sign-up early to secure your place.

So, yes, whilst it may not be Birmingham’s NEC, this October you can sit back with a cuppa, don a set of headphones, and be sure to share your insights, responses and views via the event hashtag #NACFBVirtualExpo. And whilst you’re there, why not sign-up to next year’s physical NACFB Expo at the NEC on Wednesday 24th March.
