“In today’s complex, compliance-focused environment, just delivering technology is no longer enough,” said Dennis Boggs, EVP, CalyxSoftware. “It’s important to help clients understand the changing lending landscape and how technology solutions can help drive their business goals. Over the past several years, we’ve offered smaller regional events, but given the massive changes our industry has faced over the past few years, we believe a national event is necessary and will allow us to help our customers feel more confident, capable and prepared for the road ahead.”
