This year’s conference agenda was built around the theme of Navigating a Path Forward; to do so, the LSTA has assembled a trio of expert keynotes that will address the economy, AI, and the intersection of geopolitics and technology. We begin with the economy, where world-renowned economist and financial expert, Marci Rossell, will provide her “Economic Forecast and the Impact of Seismic Surprises.”  We then turn to “What’s on the Horizon for AI” and world-renowned futurist and founder & CEO of the Future Institute Amy Webb, who will deliver her insights into the emerging tech and trends that will revolutionize the way we live and operate our business.  Finally, we bring you Chris Miller, an expert on international politics, economics, and technology, who authored the Financial Times’ Best Business Book of the Year Winner “Chip War: The Fight for the World’s Most Critical Technology.”

And of course, we’ve built a series of loan market panels that are intertwined with our keynote sessions.   Forty-plus industry experts will engage in lively debates on the Broadly Syndicated Loan Market and how it has “Returned to the Black”, the Rise of Private Credit “From the Shadows to the Golden Age”, and how market participants are tackling “Loan Defaults, Recoveries, and LMTs”. 

To ensure we cover the most relevant topics across all functional disciplines, our late afternoon sessions will break into three simultaneous tracks. 

Track 1:  Legal & Policy

• Legal Perspectives on Loan Market Trends
• Policy Matters: How to Survive (& Thrive!) in Tomorrow’s Regulatory Environment

Track 2:  Market Trends

• The Changing Face of the Lender Base: Challenges and Opportunities
• The Path Ahead for Trading, Liquidity, and the Electronification of the Loan Market

Track 3:  Operations and Technology

• The Impact of the SEC’s Rulemaking on Loan Ops
• Information is Key:  Transforming the Loan Market through Real-Time Digital Data

Please join us and our sponsors in celebrating our asset class at the largest and most influential loan market conference in the world. We look forward to seeing you alongside 1,000 of your colleagues and discussing how we, as an industry, are Navigating a Path Forward.
