“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” – Benjamin Franklin

Every year, MCT® clients, vendor partners, and staff look forward to the Exchange for it’s contemporary style that sets it apart from other secondary market conferences. With it’s cutting-edge format, educational opportunities, and enjoyable networking venues, this year’s September 2017 Exchange was no exception.

This conference specifically focuses on re-connecting MCT clients, vendor partners, and staff to emphasize that the best way to bolster one another’s successes is to share industry knowledge and experiences. In this recap we have showcased several notable keynote speakers who presented on industry topics, current trends, and data analysis from the mortgage industry.

Cultivating a Network of Success

By taking advantage of the tools and workshops that MCT offers, clients make informed decisions to grow their business through the power of knowledge. The purpose of the annual Exchange conferences is to nurture an environment where clients and vendor partners can meet, mingle, and form new relationships with each other to promote the growth of their businesses.

“Our clients help each other, they share information with each other, and they help each other become better companies.” – Curtis Richins, President of MCT

 

Renewing the Exchange at the Omni Hotel in September 2017

This year’s exchanged enjoyed a return to the Omni San Diego Hotel, as well a repeat of a day dedicated exclusively to vendor partner education and relationship building. You may be wondering, “Why so much focus on vendor partners”?

We found through our experiences that when strong relationships are built with well-informed 3rd party partners it will lead to better service and ultimately more long-term success for our clients.

The culture at MCT is to be transparent. We are not simply an intermediary service. We want to empower our clients to have direct access to thought leaders in the mortgage industry and beyond.
