LENDIT 2014
HILTON SAN FRANCISCO, ,
The LendIt Conference is the leading conference in the global online lending industry, encompassing both consumer and small business lending. LendIt is about introducing people to the latest and greatest online lending platforms, the big data that makes them tick and how investors can benefit.
Our inaugural conference, LendIt 2013, was held in New York City on June 20, 2013, and was completely sold out. In fact, the conference was oversold and many people were turned away. This year, we expect to more than double attendance and have the capacity to grow even beyond that. We have also expanded LendIt to become a two-day conference.
Since June, the online lending industry has been growing immensely. As the industry’s annual growth rate is near 200%, participating in the industry’s most recognized conference continues to garner more interest every day.
The 2nd Annual LendIt Conference will be held in San Francisco on May 4-6 2014.
LendIt 2014 is the must-attend event for anyone looking to meet and learn from the leaders of the online lending industry.
Please register here. You can also book a room here at the Hilton San Francisco, the site of LendIt 2014.
