Last year’s inaugural conference, 'Bridging Today and Tomorrow', was over-subscribed so this year the ASTL has introduced it as an annual event and moved to a larger venue. This year the conference will take place at Painters’ Hall at Little Trinity Lane within the City of London, next to Mansion House tube station.
The ASTL annual conference will review the growth of the bridging and short term lending market, the potential opportunities and the effect of outside factors such as European legislation and encroaching regulation.
A number of key speakers have been lined up already including someone from the FCA and from the fraud squad; other speakers will be announced over the forthcoming months.
Benson Hersch, chief executive of the ASTL says:
“The ASTL inaugural conference last year was a huge success so we have decided to make it an annual event. Because the conference was over-subscribed last year, we have moved it to the prestigious Livery Hall at Painters’ Hall to accommodate more people. This year’s venue will hold up to 200 people as opposed to 150 at the venue last year.
“The 2014 annual conference will look at the challenges and opportunities facing people in the bridging market, it will address the issues facing lenders, advisers and professional suppliers and better equip them to face the year ahead.”
