Free attendance facilitated through sponsorship

For fourteen years, the NACFB Expo has evolved significantly, growing into the impressive show we will witnessed on Wednesday 26th June. The largest annual event in the intermediary-led commercial finance calendar, it has always been free to attend, and we aim to keep it that way.

Commenting, NACFB managing director Norman Chambers, said: “This incredible event is made possible through the generous support of our many sponsors. Their contributions ensure that the event remains accessible to all, allowing everyone in the community to benefit. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all this year’s sponsors for their continued support in keeping the NACFB Expo free to attend.”

Of course, the benefits also extend to the sponsoring organisations who know their profile will be raised through increased brand awareness, and often a boost to sales, among the many advantages.

NACFB Expo sponsors 2024

In 2024 the sponsorship of the NACFB Expo has been kindly provided by the following NACFB Members, lender Patrons and supplier Partners:

Keystone Property Finance – NACFB Expo app

 

Free for all attending delegates and exhibitors, the NACFB Expo app is available to both iOS and Android users and can be download here. The app allows delegates to connect with all exhibitors, book one-to-one meetings, see the conference agenda and plot a route around the arena. Keystone Property Finance’s branding appears each time the app is opened, and their full details can also be found in the app’s exhibitor list.

YBS Commercial Mortgages – Lanyards

 

Whether, a delegate, an exhibitor, a speaker or a member of staff, for ID purposes, every attendee to the NACFB Expo is required to wear a lanyard. YBS’s branding will be visible on all lanyard ribbons throughout the day. With more than 2,500 attendees expected, this form of sponsorship is a subtly effective profile-raising opportunity. Long after the show has ended, the lanyard is also a prized keepsake from the day.

YouLend – Show bags

 

Cotton tote bags adorned with YouLend’s branding and the NACFB Expo logo prominently displayed on both sides, the bags will be handed out free to delegates upon arrival. They will also be available at registration and at strategic points throughout the show. Containing literature and information from exhibitors and sponsors, these useful bags are perfect for collecting the giveaways and free goodies. Re-useable and washable too, they are sure to be in circulation long after the show has ended.

NatWest - Conference Theatre

 

Join panels of industry experts to discuss and debate the issues currently affecting both the intermediary-led commercial finance industry and the UK’s SMEs seeking access to funding solutions to help them thrive and grow. Located at the far left of the show, this year’s conference is in action between 11am and 2.30pm and is hosted by journalist, writer and radio presenter, Iain Dale. NatWest’s branding will be visible throughout the conference theatre.

Red Flag Alert – Network Café

 

Serving a selection of drinks and delicious, Greek-inspired gyros throughout the day, the centrally located Network Café is the perfect place to refuel, catch up with colleagues and make new connections. Red Flag Alert’s branding will be prominently displayed on all Network Café signage. Also, a team from Red Flag Alert will also be on hand to answer any questions you may have about their business intelligence services.

Precise – Registration

 

The first area that delegates enter when visiting the NACFB Expo, the large registration space has numerous desks allowing those who have pre-registered to quickly collect their lanyards before entering the show. There are also desks for those who have turned up on spec to register their attendance. Precise’s branding will feature prominently across the walls and on the floor.

Redwood Bank – Food Market

 

Just a stone’s throw from the hustle and bustle of the exhibition, the Food Market is a great place to start your day. Grab a coffee and a croissant whilst planning your route around the show. Also on offer throughout the day you’ll find a great selection of hot and cold drinks, sandwiches, salads, savoury snacks and cakes. Take the weight off your feet, refuel and regroup whilst chatting with colleagues and peers. Redwood Bank’s branding will be displayed on all Food Market signage.

NETSOL Technologies - Recharge Zone

A breakout space perfect for attendees to recharge phones and laptops, catch up on emails, network and take a break. A new Partner of the NACFB, NETSOL Technologies will be on hand to demonstrate their software solutions for commercial lenders working in the asset and leasing space. Their branding will also be prominently displayed across all Recharge Zone signage.

Moorgate Broker Network – NACFB Members' Lounge

 

Serving complimentary hot drinks, cakes and pastries throughout the day, the ever-popular NACFB Members’ Lounge is a generous space exclusively for NACFB brokers and their guests to break away from the buzz of the show. On hand to chat, you can meet both the Moorgate team as well as some of the NACFB team, so do remember to say hello. Moorgate’s branding will also be prominent displayed within the lounge.

Currencies Direct – Exhibitor Drinks Reception

 

Always a busy event in its own right, the drinks reception takes place the evening before the NACFB Expo. It offers individuals from the 140+ exhibiting Patrons, Partners, Suppliers and the larger Member firms, an opportunity to network and relax in an informal setting in the run up to the big day.
