The lending industry is on a journey, and AltFi was here to guide you through its twists and turns at this year’s AltFi Lending Summit!

We welcomed lenders, buyers and senior decision-makers from across the lending industry to the heart of London to explore fundamental shifts in the market, interact with leading experts, learn about upcoming developments and engage with other lending organisations.

On stage, delegates found an impressive lineup of over 25 experts ready to delve into key topics dominating the lending space. Whether it was a panel, fireside chat, debate or case study, delegates got an inside look at the latest lending trends and learnt first-hand about the experiences of some of the most successful professionals in the space. The AltFi Lending Summit celebrated learning and expanding knowledge in a fun and interactive way!

When delegates were done taking notes from our speakers on the main stage, they found a sea of friendly faces with an interest in all things lending in our networking zone. Delegates had the opportunity to fly their organisation’s flag, talk about their vision and make long-lasting business connections over a tasty lunch and complimentary after-party drinks.

With new-found knowledge and exciting connections, delegates left the AltFi Lending Summit 2023 with the power to unleash untapped potential in their team and gain an edge over the competition. With this year's event seeing over 300 senior executives in one place, 2024 is set to be even bigger and better, so don’t miss out on the must-attend lending event of the year!
