The Equipment Leasing and Finance Association announced the Call for Presentations for the 2023 ELFA Annual Convention. Proposals to speak at the event, which is the largest annual gathering of equipment finance professionals, are due Tuesday, July 11. The convention will take place Oct. 22-24 at the JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge in Phoenix, AZ.

The convention will focus on the theme “Future 360.” In today’s rapidly changing world, how can you avoid tunnel vision and keep an eye on the big picture to help your business succeed? The 62nd ELFA Annual Convention will offer a 360-degree view of the evolving equipment finance marketplace. The agenda will examine a wide range of critical industry trends and upcoming developments—business, economic, technological and legislative—and what they mean for the future of your business and the industry at large.

We have a lot to talk about: new market opportunities… technology innovations… new regulatory requirements… evolving customer desires… changing workforce expectations… the economic outlook… and more. We’ll also address critical “people power” issues, from sourcing and developing talent, to driving diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace, to welcoming the next generation of leaders.

ELFA welcomes presentation proposals on topics of interest to a wide range of equipment finance industry members and conversations that spark connection. The association will be looking for intriguing session ideas that capture the climate in today’s business environment and address issues facing the industry. ELFA encourages submissions from speakers and panels representing diverse backgrounds, leadership roles and generations.
