NPLA Conference Fall 2026

The conference is held in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The organizer lists capital providers, national and regional lenders, brokers, and real estate service providers.

It is most useful for private lenders, capital providers, brokers and real estate service providers who want deal-making contacts, since the attendee mix spans both national and regional lenders and the organizer is the National Private Lenders Association. Borrowers or investors outside private lending, and newcomers wanting technical training rather than relationship building, will get less from what is primarily an industry networking conference.

Attendees at private lending and real estate finance conferences usually wear business casual, such as slacks and collared shirts or blazers without ties, and dress lighter in the desert setting. Late October in Scottsdale is warm by day.
