IMN: The 6th Annual Residential Mortgage Servicing Rights Conference

IMN’s 2019 residential MSR conference promises to be another great opportunity for owners and administrators of mortgage servicing rights to get together and discuss the latest developments in their industry. Aspen is looking forward to being back in New York City for a day and a half of networking and discussion of the issues that matter to mortgage servicers.

IMN is promising a completely new program, again involving banks, servicers, and investors speaking at a range of sessions and small group meeting. Under intense regulatory scrutiny and facing low interest rates, the need for the $10 trillion MSR industry to meet and discuss relevant issues is undeniable.

More than 450 participants attended last year’s event, almost half of them from banks, non-bank originators, mortgage investors, hedge funds, and other institutional investors. This makes the IMN forum the key date in this year’s calendar for everything related to MSR.

MBA National Mortgage Servicing Conference & Expo 2019

MBA ConferenceMBA’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 is scheduled to take place from February 25 through 28 in sunny Orlando, Florida—yet another incentive to attend!

You get 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.

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.

Will Aspen Be There?

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

What’s in Store for Attendees?

If you want to learn, you won’t be short of opportunities. The schedule is 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. You will also find 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.

Property Insurance and Restoration Conference

Property Insurance and Restoration Conference

Atlanta, Georgia

November 13 & 14, 2018

Aspen was delighted to attend the Property Insurance and Restoration Conference (PIRC), which encourages audience participation with topic-led discussions from all segments of the property restoration industry. PIRC is very different from other conferences, in that attendees have their voices heard on topics vital to the industry and discuss problems and solutions with other industry professionals. Topics included restorer requirements, role descriptions, data-estimating standards, background checks, new technologies, and legislative issues confronting the industry.

Who Was It For?

PIRC represents all segments of the industry, usually with national figures or those who represent their own company attending. Restoration companies of all sizes are represented, as well as the insurance industry, IP, vendors and other key players. The objective is to bring all sides together to discuss issues.

Schedule

The event ran over two half days, from Tuesday afternoon through to Wednesday lunchtime. Topics covered included relevant legislation and regulation, lessons learned from Hurricanes Florence and Michael, background checks, and vetting photo documentation best practice.

The recently established PIRC-CIECA Data Standards & Accessibility Committee reported on the work they have been doing acknowledging the need for data exchange and accessibility standards, and developing the ways in which this can be achieved. The committee is a collaborative initiative between PIRC and CIECA, a data standards organization that designs industry electronic standards, codes and standard messages and delivers implementation guides to improve industry efficiency. Members develop all standards.

The meeting discussed background check standardization, best practices for photo documentation, defining roles of restorers, consultants and insurers to the claims process, and it also accommodated discussions focused on improving the overall industry.

A special presentation focused on background checks and the potential for adopting a standard that could be integrated across the industry, cutting costs and inefficiencies. Those who had pre-registered for the conference or were included on the communications list received a draft white paper in advance.
