MCT Exchange 2016 Recap

Some things change, some stay the same.

The December 2016 MCT Exchange was held at the beautiful Omni San Diego Hotel and we heard was the “cherry on top” of an amazing year for community growth and success.

This conference focused on connecting MCT^® vendors with educational and networking opportunities. We showcased several notable keynote speakers on industry topics, current trends, and data analysis from the mortgage industry.

We would like to thank the featured speakers and thought leaders for their time and great contributions to the success of this event.

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 recurring 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 in December 2016 at the Omni Hotel

This year’s exchanged enjoyed the new location at the Omni San Diego Hotel, as well as a newly added conference 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 beyond the mortgage industry.
