CONFERENCE
OVERVIEW

iiBIG’s 15th Annual Education Finance & Loan Symposium, will take May 20-24, 2021 in the Washington DC area. (Final venue arrangements are being made and will be announced soon). This event has become known as the only conference of its kind to attract a 360-degree cross-section of all the key players in the education finance/student loan industry. Attendance at our in-person events has averaged between 125-150 and, early indications are that this year’s IN-PERSON conference will continue this trend.

Now that the student loan repayment freeze has been lifted; and, the SCOTUS decision has “somewhat” clarified loan forgiveness issues, the 2024 event promises to draw a larger audience than ever!
