Industry Transformation Discussion & Debate

About Innovation Roundtables

Our industry is filled with brilliant people who are curious and actively seeking the next breakthrough. How are other industry leaders thinking about innovation in equipment finance? What are the challenges to solve now, and where do we go next?

Our quarterly virtual roundtable sessions are an opportunity to find out what is on the mind of your peers, share ideas, and discover new approaches for tackling your innovation challenges. It’s not a one-way webinar; it’s a highly interactive facilitated discussion of the latest innovation topics that are top of mind for Equipment Finance leaders.

Our discussions are designed for all innovation-minded equipment finance professionals, from emerging talent to seasoned leaders. If you’re interested in accessing cutting-edge knowledge, engaging diverse voices in the industry innovation discussion, and building your action plan, this event is for you!

Why Attend

You will engage with senior leaders from ELFA’s Innovation Advisory Council, a facilitated discussion on the people, process, and technology sides of innovating in a world of continuous and accelerating change.

Presented by: the ELFA Innovation Advisory council

  • If there is value, how might we catalyze action in our industry?
  • What can we learn from other industries to catalyze innovation in EF?
  • Why is it beneficial to look to other industries for inspiration?
