Events

MBA’s National Mortgage Servicing Conference & Expo is one event you cannot miss if you have any connection to the mortgage servicing industry. This year, it took place from February 25 through 28 in sunny Orlando, Florida—yet another incentive to attend!

Participants got to meet thousands of servicers from every background at the annual MBA Conference & Expo. Savvy servicers prioritize this conference because of the scope it gives them to network with their peers, share their experiences, and find out what is new in their area.

With compliance now less of an issue for the industry right now, servicers should be looking for opportunities to save money and streamline their operations to make sure they are functioning at maximum efficiency. They need to know the direction of the industry so that they can be prepared and ahead of the competition when change happens.

Who is the MBA Conference & Expo for?

Anybody connected to the residential mortgage loan servicing industry should attend. Whatever your scale, business model type, or position in the industry, you need to be there. Participants include all levels of management and staff in the areas of servicing, default, and customer service, as well as attorneys, service providers, and other vendors.

Were Aspen There?

Yes! We wouldn’t miss it. Our team will be attending sessions and meetings throughout the conference. Be sure to say hello.

What Did Attendees Get?

If you wanted to learn, you weren’t short of opportunities. The schedule was packed with sessions, workshops, and roundtable discussions on everything from state mortgage servicing rules and concepts in residential mortgage servicing to property preservation and natural disasters. There was also a range of product showcases to get you up-to-speed on the latest developments in your area. Quite apart from the organized events, the MBA Conference & Expo is invaluable for the opportunities it provides for engaging with peers, clients, and prospective customers.

A must for anybody working in areas related to the insurance claims and repair industry, Elevate19 blended the former Xactware User Conference and PCS Catastrophe Conference with pioneering content from Geomni and ISO. Aspen participated again this year. This conference is key to finding out about cutting-edge developments in InsurTech, EstimatingTech, and technology for the insurance claims and repair industry. From previous Elevate conferences, we’ve learned that these events offer excellent opportunities to network with industry professionals, discover more about industry trends, and gain practical insights into new technology.
Mike Fulton, the president of Xactware delivered the keynote address, outlining important developments and key trends in the evolving insurance ecosystem with leaders from Verisk and Geomni. After the address, participants gained hands-on experience with the latest Xactware tools in the Xperience Lab and attended sessions on everything from the future of water damage restoration to the power of industry-wide data sharing.
