AAPL’s Excellence Awards

While AAPL’s Excellence Awards model is now ubiquitous among private lender events, the original honors program that recognizes a Rising Star, Member of the Year, and Community Impact Recipient is the gold standard for distinction among private lenders — and backed by the oldest and largest national association for the profession of private lending.

Nominations are open until August 23, 2024, with voting from September 1-30, 2024. We’ll announce recipients at our Annual Conference.

Member of the Year (MOTY): This award goes to a member based on their deep expertise, unique value, and strong commitment to clients and the industry.

Rising Star: Rising Stars are members who have accomplished outstanding growth in their company or industry sector over the past year.

Community Impact: Recipients improve their local communities or our industry through volunteering, development programs, or civic efforts.

See past award winners, award rules, and participate in the 2024 nomination and voting process here.

AAPL Annual Conference Networking

Even as our conference has grown to the largest event in the private lending space, we’ve sought to provide opportunities for a more personal “culture of collaboration” to foster ground-breaking partnerships and business-building deal flow. Check out the Conference Overview & Schedule or AAPL’S Annual Conference App for up-to-date timing and additional information.

VIP RECEPTION // Enjoy cocktails and hors d’oeuvres while catching up with VIPs from across the country, all overlooking the gorgeous Las Vegas Strip from the OMNIA’s private deck. AAPL Members may RSVP during registration at no additional cost; for non-members it is $199/ticket.

NETWORKING BREAKFASTS & SESSION BREAKS // Early-risers will appreciate plentiful coffee and a selection of pastries, protein, and more – along with the opportunity to talk shop in a quieter atmosphere. Session breaks feature an energetic environment with a variety of snacking options.

AFTER-HOURS RECEPTION // Continue conversations with fellow attendees, sponsors, and speakers while enjoying complimentary hors d’oeuvres and two drink tokens.

AAPL’S OFFICIAL AFTER-PARTY // For those who hate to say goodnight, each year a few sponsors plan a little something extra to wrap up your day … or help segue from all-business to all-fun. We’ll mark the party as official and provide information about how to attend.

AAPL ANNUAL CONFERENCE APP // On iOS, Android, and desktop, the app is your insiders’ guide to getting the most out of #AAPLANNUAL. Connect with fellow attendees and export your connections at anytime. The app is your personalized schedule, conference navigation system, notebook, and more!
