Scheduled for 22nd March, the all-day event — which also marks FIBA’s fourth anniversary — will comprise keynote speeches and panel discussions focused on bridging and development finance, BTL and commercial mortgages.  

Several of FIBA’s lender partners will also be exhibiting as part of the conference.  

During the event, the specialist property finance trade body will be announcing its future planning strategy and launching a number of enhancements in partnership with its sister company, SimplyBiz Mortgages.

The event is open to all professionals and businesses involved in the specialist finance sector, and offers an opportunity for the wider industry to reflect on the experiences of 2021, the key lessons learned, and what 2022 is likely to have in store for lenders, brokers, businesses, and investors.
