Equipment executives from across North America came together at Equipment Finance Connect 2024 in Nashville, Tenn., on May 5-7 to discuss best practices in dealer and lender operations and develop key industry relationships.
As the equipment finance industry faces headwinds amid elevated interest rates and tightening lending practices, dealers, lenders and service providers gathered to connect over two days and eight sessions to discuss best practices for managing tightening credit standards and technology advancements, and for navigating forecasted demand downturns.
Executives learned best practices for enhancing dealer finance operations, portfolio optimization and strategic planning, and about macroeconomic trends. Attendees had networking opportunities at the gathering to meet colleagues and foster relationships that will help them thrive and find success for years to come.
