The nations’s largest private lender event.

As we review a conference that blew our past events out of the water in terms turnout, collaborative education, and an invigorating atmosphere—well, our team is incredibly gratified.

This event embodies our goals for both the association and the industry we support.

It is private lending professionals—many of them competitors—coming together to share knowledge and build each other up.

It is intentional networking that seeks real connection and long-term partnership.

It is accessibility that empowers lenders of all sizes to join the conversation and contribute to a melting pot of perspectives that strengthens our profession.

So, why only one event each year? (If we had a dollar every time someone asked …)

A conference like this is worth making truly special in a way that elevates it to a can’t-miss event while ensuring participants showcase their very best. On a practical note, hosting once a year allows our team to celebrate our industry while continuing to build the education, ethics, and advocacy initiatives that provide year-round support. Like so many of our members, we run a small, tight ship—but we have big plans.

We invite you to revisit #AAPLANNUAL15 with us through photos, testimonials, and key stats, and we encourage you to keep an eye forward. What’s next for you and your business? How can AAPL help you shape those efforts? Let us know so we can carry that into our upcoming Annual Conference and also serve up resources throughout all of 2025 and beyond.
