Southeastern Small Business
Lenders Conference 2009 |
The Southeastern Small Business Lenders Conference is the newly renamed “Capital
Challenge”, presented by the Georgia Lenders Quality Circle. In years past, the
conference has been held for GA members, but is now open to the entire Southeast.
The annual conference, held each January, is a networking and training event held
over a 4-day period. It includes keynote speakers on SBA relevant topics, forecast
of the economy, breakout training sessions with topics for beginner and advanced
SBA lenders and their staff, as well as several networking opportunities.
One of the primary objectives of the conference is to provide attendees with a financial
forecast of the year ahead. In light of the economy, this outlook should prove to
be especially beneficial this year.
