Eugene James, MarketNsight
What the current housing data is actually telling us, where pending sales, inventory, and pricing trends stand right now, why mortgage rates have moved the way they have this year, and what all of that means for construction lending risk, land strategy, and originations heading into next year. Leave with a clear read on where the market's headed; not just where it's been.

You don't need to become an AI expert, but you do need to know enough to make the right calls. This session explains AI’s growing presence inside your current platforms and vendor relationships, and the regulatory and operational risks that come with it. Everything from fair lending and ECOA exposure to CFPB and FRB scrutiny. We will also cover practical ways for you to drive better conversations across sales, underwriting, compliance, and your technology teams.

Every organization is sitting on its next great idea. The problem is the person holding that idea has learned to hold back. They're calculating the risk. Editing themselves in real time. Staying quiet in the rooms where it matters most.
This is The Voice-Values Gap™: the distance between what people believe inside and what they actually say out loud at work. The wider that gap grows, the more your organization pays for it — in decision quality, retention, and the innovation that never makes it out of someone's head.
