CONFERENCE
OVERVIEW

Registration is now open for iiBIG’s VIRTUAL Education Finance & Loan Symposium, which will take place online, April 21-22, 2021 (Wednesday & Thursday).

Since the Covid Pandemic prevented us from meeting in-person in 2020, it is nonetheless important to provide a forum for members of the public and private student loan community to meet, learn and network… SOONER than LATER. Thus, we are going VIRTUAL!

The new Biden Administration’s Education Department can be expected to be enacting significant new policies affecting both federal and private student lending. By April, we will be getting a better picture of what to expect. We are adding new speakers with inside information on what can be expected, so that you and your colleagues will be able to discuss how these changes will affect YOU. (Check back often to see updates).
