This event brings together asset finance leaders for a focused briefing on what's changing in government, regulation and technology. With the event scheduled a day before the Chancellor's Autumn Statement, it's an opportunity for lenders to understand what’s coming and how to respond.

What the day will cover

The conference addresses the questions that are keeping finance leaders up at night. You'll hear from senior leaders across asset, equipment, and auto finance who are working through these issues right now. The day covers:

• The Autumn Statement and regulatory change – What the budget means for lending and investment, plus a complete roadmap for the FCA's redress scheme and its implications for auto and asset finance.
• SME lending in transition – How policy shifts, the commission wars, and the changing role of brokers are reshaping the market.
• Technology that delivers results – Real-world case studies on originations, plus practical insights on AI implementations that are driving measurable wins.

Preparing for the age of customer AI

When borrowers arrive with AI copilots that compare offers and demand explainable decisions, what must lenders do to adapt? Odessa's Antony Clegg, SVP of Product Management, will join Cat Powell from Novuna Business Finance, Andy Taylor from Haydock Finance, and Richard Huston from VAMOS in exploring how AI-enabled SMEs and brokers will reshape the customer journey. This session will help you think through what it means for your business.

AI is already changing how lenders operate, from automating routine tasks to improving decision accuracy and customer service. If you want to understand how these capabilities apply across the asset finance value chain, we've put together a list of AI use cases in asset finance.
