AACFB Annual Conference 2026

The 2026 conference takes place at the Irvine Marriott in Irvine, California.

The organizer identifies commercial finance brokers, lenders, and industry service providers as audiences.

The organizer says hundreds of commercial finance industry participants are expected.

It suits commercial finance brokers and lenders who want face-to-face time with each other, along with service providers courting them, because those three groups make up the stated audience and the meeting runs over three days in a single hotel in Irvine. The speaker list is drawn from the industry itself, with names such as Joe Schmitz, Anna Gallo and Kapil Vashishth, which favors working brokers looking for peer insight over executives who want a broad cross-industry program. Professionals outside commercial finance, or those who want a very large exhibit floor, would likely get less from a single-hotel regional gathering.
