This year MBE also has a distributor partner, PMS.
James Prosser, MBE London 2012 show director, said: “Once again AMI has put together a strong seminar programme for MBE London 2012 with representatives from the regulator presenting key addresses on both days.
“As always brokers, advisers and intermediaries want to hear from their regulator and with the reality of the MMR very close on the horizon we are pleased to give them this opportunity.
“Day one will offer the MMR update we have all been waiting for whilst day two will provide a look into the future for attendees with an outline of how both the FSA, and its new incarnation, the FCA, are likely to forge ahead.
“Our move to a bigger venue at Excel represents a major jump forward for the exhibition and goes some way to proving that confidence is slowly but surely returning to the mortgage market.
“The rest of the seminar programme aims to give attendees a view on the underlying economic conditions, how they affect the marketplace, whilst at the same time providing a wealth of ideas and opportunities to explore.
“MBE London remains the biggest show of its kind in this sector and we are pleased to have secured some of the biggest mainstream lenders in the country as key exhibitors such as Halifax, Nationwide and Virgin Money. Alongside these we have a range of suppliers from across the entire marketplace that are there to help attendees developing their propositions and offerings in a variety of different sectors.
“This year’s exhibition comes at a particularly crucial time for the entire mortgage market and we believe a visit to MBE London will provide attendees with vitally important information and contacts in order to survive and thrive in the months and years ahead.”
