ELFA Funding Conference Recap

By Brad Bayless

Last week, I attended the Equipment Leasing and Finance Association (ELFA) National Funding Conference in Chicago. The conference helped match up companies looking to expand their business with lenders looking to deploy their capital. Attendance was up from 490 participants last year to just around 600 participants for this year, signifying the successfulness of the event. Additionally, the number of exhibits increased 25% from last year. There was a very upbeat vibe throughout the three day conference and I thoroughly enjoyed networking with industry peers.
