MORTGAGE TECH TODAY – INDUSTRY UPDATE
Keeping abreast of the technological introductions , whilst also running a busy diary , alongside your other responsibilities can sometimes be a step too far . Often you know you would like something to reduce the workload in certain areas – you just don ’ t have the time to locate something or establish the due diligence to decide whether it does what it says on the tin and if it ’ s right for your business .
To support , as you know , you have access to a range of tools and tech , either as part of your membership or at significantly discounted rates , but it ’ s the opportunity to hear more and ask that killer question that often evades you .
Our Mortgage Tech Today events look to give you access to these providers in highly focused sessions , where they are challenged to deliver their key message to allow you to quickly establish whether the tool or service is one that could save you time and introduce efficiencies . You will also be given the opportunity to ask questions of the presenters to make the experience even more personal . We expect there to be two events per year .
