An industry brought to its knees by the financial meltdown, the leasing landscape is unrecognisable from that of 12 months ago. Corruption, mergers and insolvency have taken over as the main themes – but from this bleak picture some lessors are not only surviving but flourishing.

Asset Finance Conference & Awards 2009

Designed specifically for European and international leasing and asset finance professionals, VRL’s Asset Finance Conference 2009 looks at how the current economic downturn is affecting the asset finance industry.

Direct from Berlin, at the heart of the European asset finance industry, you will learn how regulation is affecting the ability of lessors to manoeuvre in the changed climate – and the way they are transforming themselves to cope with the new challenges.

Network with other companies and share experiences and lessons learnt.

The conference will focus on:

How to run a leasing company in a recession
Tackling client insolvency and collection challenges
Developing a successful recovery strategy
Examining the links between investors and distributors of physical assets
The macro-economic climate and the role that finance plays in the ‘real’ economy
How to sell a leasing company to investors
IFRS and other regulation changes – consequences for customers, lessors and ROI

Leasing Life Awards 2009

A key part of the conference is the Leasing Life European Awards 2009, provided in association with CHP Consulting, leading supplier of software solutions and consultancy services to asset finance organisations. This is your chance to nominate your champion players for these prestigious industry accolades, for presentation at the awards dinner, held during the conference.
