Why Participate as a Funding Source Exhibitor this Year

As a funding source, you are in the best position to fuel this growth. The ELFA National Funding Conference provides you the platform to meet and do business with diverse companies from across the industry. At the same time, the Conference is structured so that you get "face time" with the people you want to meet and consider the transactions attractive to you.

2022 Attendance Expected To Rise

Every year since 2010, attendance has been on the rise at the ELFA National Funding Conference. In 2019, there were 633 attendees and an increase in Funding Source Exhibitors with 74 in attendance. ELFA anticipates that 2022 attendance will continue to grow, along with the number of Funding Sources participating as exhibitors.

To help Funding Sources conduct business your way, and to allow you to make the most of your time during the conference, we offer several participation options.
