Mark your calendar for MMLAFest 2025, happening August 3–5 at the Bavarian Inn in Frankenmuth! This year’s Annual Lending Conference is gearing up to be our biggest and most exciting ever — and believe us, this is one event you’ll want to experience firsthand.

We’re kicking things off Sunday morning with the always-popular Up North Classic Golf Tournament, followed by an evening welcome reception to officially open the event. From there, enjoy two full days (Monday and Tuesday) of powerhouse general sessions, targeted breakouts, networking receptions, and unforgettable social events.

Just added to the agenda:

Captain Richard Phillips – Real-life hero and keynote speaker
Steve Richman – Back with his high-energy “Why You?” session
Laura Escobar – MBA Chair and DC insider delivering a must-hear industry update
Rob & Robbie Chrisman – Leading two engaging sessions on market trends and technology

To clarify: the last official event wraps up Tuesday night after the President’s Reception and Dinner. Wednesday morning includes breakfast only — no sessions are scheduled.

Spots are filling fast — don’t miss your chance to be part of the conference everyone will be talking about.
