[Oct 25, 2:30 - 4:00 pm] Strategic Shift: Start thinking and Operating Like a Digital Company
The word "digital" used to be about technology. Today "digital" is a way of being for a business. Business Leaders must start thinking and operating like a digital company to remain relevant. Learn how to make the shift to being a digital products company from the industry's forward leaning technology providers.
Panelists will explore questions and topics that all Equipment Finance companies should be asking as they think about how to continuously deliver digital experiences to their customers and employees. Learn how to pivot from an ‘occasional IT project approach’ to operate as a constantly innovating company that continuously evolves digital-first experiences by harnessing ideas from employees and customers. Understand the strategic mindset shift, leadership skills and organizational competencies that every Equipment Finance company must implement to compete in an increasingly digital world.

[Oct 26, 3:00 - 4:30 pm] Gen Y: A “vertical” market defining the next 30 years in Equipment Finance
Vertical market definition and segmentation is the life blood of business strategy. Nowhere is this truer than equipment finance where markets are defined by region, by equipment class, and by NAICS codes, among other things. Typically, the customers making up these segments are treated as common types. But Gen Y, the Millennials, will change that. Millennials live The Experience Economy. They have grown up in a usage-based economy -- cell phone data plans, on-demand streaming media accounts and transportation via car, bike, and scooter sharing. Millennials don’t use check books. They believe “pay for what I use” is the standard regardless of whether they work in construction, healthcare, or transportation. As the largest generation to date - 88 million in the US, 10 million more than the Boomer generation, they will be the largest vertical market in the industry – ever.
This panel will discuss:
- Generational design for equipment finance
- We will also discuss how Gen Y numbers will drive economics, technology, and the offerings of every market.
Join us for a candid conversation with professionals who are preparing for this generational shift.

Advantage Brokers: Smart Technology Improves Workflow to Help You Compete
and Profit
Presented by Jeff Bilbrey, Leasepath and Daniel Nelson, Tamarack
Technology
The constraints of COVID-19 laid bare the challenges ahead for those who
have not “gone digital.” It also highlighted how those who embrace the speed
and agility of digital workflow technology can meet buyers’ demands for
convenience and flexibility. In equipment finance, brokers have a unique
position and competitive advantage to leverage digital front-end solutions
to meet these buyer needs. Brokers that operate at higher speeds with more
client diversity create more data faster from which algorithms can learn,
and which workflow solutions can streamline. In this session, two of the
leading software providers in the equipment finance origination industry
will discuss how companies can quickly leverage advanced platforms to gain
speed, efficiency, and revenue for their businesses.
