Because we offer an enterprise solution, we had clients from all parts of the mortgage space, originators (of course) but also servicers, reverse lenders and investors. Plenty of partners made it out to the show as well, including companies that most readers of this blog will know well.
It was great getting to spend time with people who are not afraid to work hard in a business that so many others have already written off. Falling loan volumes, serious servicing problems, a tidal wave of legislation and a new regulator just getting ready to join the party are plenty of reasons to get depressed. But I didn't see that here this week.
Sure, the venue was terrific, the weather beautiful, the exclusive dinner at Kelly Liken's restaurant worked out just right. But it takes more than just an enjoyable conference to put this kind of passion for the business into people. It was in them before they ever got off the plane in Vail. It's part of what makes them great. I am so proud to work with and for these people.
I was extremely pleased that we were able to book Paul Sperry, author of the Great American Bank Robbery, to speak. (You'll find a link to his book in the sidebar). He was very engaging and well received by our attendees.
I was also very happy to see my team, some of the absolute best technologists in this industry, help our clients get more power out of every tool we offer. The clients loved it and so did I.
But the best part of this show was seeing our clients come together and solve problems together, sharing tips and tricks for technology, recruiting and management. It was great to see so many hard working professionals networking in a way that clearly offered them so many benefits.
It's back to Denver now to continue the work. You can expect my feet to touch the ground any time now. I'm already reading news that has my blood pumping again. I'll tell you more about that next week. Have a great weekend.
