Brightstar Financial has announced the Specialist Lending Virtual Expo, a free one day digital event for brokers.

The event takes place on 1 July and is open to all brokers, although places are limited. It features 11 keynote speakers throughout the day and a panel debate on the ‘state of the specialist lending nation’. Topics for the key note speeches include second charge mortgages, buy-to-let, bridging finance, commercial finance and helping under-served borrowers.

Speakers will include Emma Cox, Joshua Elash, Caroline Mirakian, Adrian Moloney, Steve Seal, Buster Tolfree, Steve Cox, Richard Deacon, Nick Baker, Steve Griffiths, Chris Holcomb, Mark Whitear, Phil Quinn and William Lloyd and Rob Jupp from The Brightstar Group.

Brokers attending the Specialist Lending Virtual Expo will be given access to exclusive products and have the opportunity to talk and download content from the 15 exhibiting lenders. They will also receive CPD points for attending the panel debate and key note speeches, and delegates will be given vouchers for Costa Coffee.

Michelle Westley (pictured), head of marketing at Brightstar Financial, said: “We have conducted research amongst brokers to understand what they want to hear about and we’ve put a lot of thought into developing a programme of content that can make a tangible difference to broker businesses.

“The Specialist Lending Virtual Expo will deliver product and market information and education, with insights into how brokers can spot and make the most of opportunities. It is a strictly ‘no sales pitch zone’ and all of our expert speakers will be promoting increased broker knowledge, rather than their own businesses.

“We are confident this will be a must-attend event, but places are limited to get in quickly and register now.”
