The mortgage industry has never stood still for long. New products emerge, regulations evolve, market conditions shift, and consumer expectations continue to change. For mortgage professionals looking to stay ahead, there is one question worth asking: Where can you get the strategies, relationships, and insights needed to grow in today's market?
For thousands of industry professionals, the answer is Originator Connect.
Returning to Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas from August 13–16, Originator Connect has established itself as the mortgage industry's premier annual gathering for originators and brokers. The event brings together mortgage pros, investors, service providers, and industry leaders for four days focused on education, business growth, and meaningful connections.
What makes Originator Connect different is its practical focus. This isn't a conference built around theory. Sessions are designed to help attendees return home with actionable ideas they can implement immediately to generate more business, improve operations, and better serve borrowers.
This year's agenda features several standout experiences.
The popular Build-A-Broker program continues to attract originators who are considering launching their own brokerage or looking to scale an existing business. Sponsored by strategic compliance partners, these sessions are designed to provide a realistic roadmap for growth, covering everything from operations and recruiting to marketing and profitability.
The Non-QM Summit has also become a major draw. As alternative lending solutions continue to create opportunities for originators, attendees will hear directly from experts who understand how to leverage Non-QM products to expand their reach and better serve today's borrowers. This half day program is sponsored by Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions, LLC.
For those focused on personal and professional growth, the Mindset Summit sponsored by AngelAi offers a fresh perspective on leadership, performance, and resilience. In an industry where success often comes down to adaptability and persistence, these conversations can be just as valuable as product and sales training.The event's keynote lineup reflects that commitment to growth.
Real estate entrepreneur and television personality Josh Altman will bring his perspective on sales, branding, and building success in competitive markets. Attendees can expect lessons drawn from years of operating at the highest levels of real estate and business.
Also taking the stage is industry favorite and Rocket Pro VP, Paul Yatooma, whose sessions consistently resonate with mortgage professionals navigating change and opportunity. His practical insights and engaging presentation style have made him one of the most anticipated speakers on the conference circuit.
Of course, some of the most valuable conversations happen outside the classroom.
Originator Connect's networking opportunities have become a signature part of the event experience. The Pop & Lock networking event gives attendees a chance to connect with peers, industry leaders, and potential business partners in a relaxed environment designed to foster genuine relationships.
On Saturday, the Exhibit Hall opens with nearly 70 vendors showcasing products, services, technologies, and solutions designed specifically for mortgage professionals. Whether attendees are looking for new lending partners, marketing platforms, CRM solutions, compliance tools, or innovative technologies, the Exhibit Hall offers a concentrated opportunity to explore what's new across the industry.
