The Digital Mortgage Conference - taking place September 26 to 28 at the Wynn Las Vegas - is the can't-miss-it mortgage tech event of the year. It's not too late to register. Here's just a few of the reasons why you should:

1. Regulators laying out the framework for fintech innovation in 2024

AI in financial services is exciting, but like all innovation it needs regulatory guardrails to protect consumers and lenders. It's a crucial time to hear from leaders at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on this and all hot innovation and competition topics. We also have the agency that oversees Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, in addition to the government-sponsored enterprises themselves on how they're supporting innovation while keeping our system safe. Come listen to the people formulating and testing the latest rules and guidelines that guide banks, lenders, and fintech firms in 2024. 

2. Demo competition with 20 fintech firms across the mortgage tech stack

Have you ever seen an American Idol-like competition for sales presentations? In this highly informative and entertaining contest sponsored by LendingTree, software providers have 7 minutes to pitch one of their products and have three expert judges offer feedback in real time. In addition to some market heavyweights, this year's contest features up-and-comers straight out of tech incubators and fresh funding rounds (think Gateless, Haven and more) showing off products very few have seen. The winner is awarded a cash prize from LendingTree.

3. Mark Calabria and Dave Stevens together on stage

Though they haven't always seen eye to eye on issues facing the housing finance field, the former head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, Mark Calabria, and the former head of the Mortgage Bankers Association, Dave Stevens will be exploring where they philosophically overlap in what is sure to be a lively discussion on opening day of the conference.

4. Glenn Stearns, Daniel Burrus and a slew of mortgage leaders

An Undercover Billionaire and a disruptive innovator will be joining Digital Mortgage Conference attendees to share their expertise in running a successful business and in breaking out of outmoded practices to excel. These sessions promise practical, strategic advice that can guide your company into a strong year ahead. Meanwhile, female leaders at the top of their game will talk about how they're building the future of housing. On top of that, more peers in the field from LoanDepot, Guaranteed Rate, Go Mortgage, Movement Mortgage and so many more will be joining us to share their views on how to build a better business at a difficult time in the market.

5. Networking opportunities

Working smarter includes making new connections with the diverse players within the home finance community. How can you find a better way to do business without seeing what other folks in this market are doing to succeed? At DigMo, we'll be providing ample opportunities for you to pick the brains of some of the smartest people in the business with networking breakfasts and breaks, round table discussions, happy hours in addition to an industry party.
