1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.550 Todd Stone: Hi, I'm Todd stone, I'm a reporter with deBanked and 2 00:00:02.550 --> 00:00:03.660 we're here at Broker Fair. 3 00:00:08.220 --> 00:00:10.980 Jordan Fein: One thing that we have been needing is an event 4 00:00:10.980 --> 00:00:13.890 that is dedicated to our ever growing space, in the MCA space 5 00:00:13.890 --> 00:00:14.550 and lending space. 6 00:00:14.580 --> 00:00:17.550 Jared Weitz: The space has never really had its own real event 7 00:00:17.550 --> 00:00:19.620 and broker fair or any real event. 8 00:00:19.680 --> 00:00:23.160 Jennie Villano: It is really the first of its kind for having 9 00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:25.380 funding companies and ISOs together. 10 00:00:25.410 --> 00:00:27.480 Will Murphy: I sit there on the computer all day long. I'm on 11 00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:30.810 the phone all day long, I talked to these people. And I wanted to 12 00:00:30.810 --> 00:00:32.160 put a face to the name. 13 00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:34.220 Christine Chang: There's no substitute for really one-on-one 14 00:00:34.220 --> 00:00:37.190 interaction. So something like this really allows for it. 15 00:00:37.190 --> 00:00:39.620 Sean Murray: So I think people have that pent up interest over 16 00:00:39.620 --> 00:00:42.830 time. And when we finally put it together, it just exploded. 17 00:00:42.860 --> 00:00:44.690 Attendee: It's been extremely well attended. And I think 18 00:00:44.930 --> 00:00:47.510 obviously, you can kind of tell from the energy that people are 19 00:00:47.510 --> 00:00:49.790 pretty happy to be hear and there's an awful lot going on. 20 00:00:49.790 --> 00:00:51.770 Jeremy Brown: My impression so far is that this is great. 21 00:00:51.830 --> 00:00:54.560 There's a lot of enthusiasm, a lot of interaction. 22 00:00:54.590 --> 00:00:57.230 Attendee: The networking alone, I couldn't even put a value on 23 00:00:57.230 --> 00:00:57.500 that. 24 00:00:57.530 --> 00:01:01.550 It's exceeded my expectation so far, really well attended, well 25 00:01:01.550 --> 00:01:04.010 organized. I think the breakout sessions are relevant. 26 00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:07.300 Shawn Smith: If you can truly connect with them on a human 27 00:01:07.300 --> 00:01:10.210 level and get to know them and know who you're doing business 28 00:01:10.210 --> 00:01:13.180 with and it's worth its weight in gold to have that time with 29 00:01:13.180 --> 00:01:13.420 them. 30 00:01:13.450 --> 00:01:16.090 Evan Marmott: This is just for what we do. I think it's great. 31 00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:19.000 Dan Gans: I think this is phenomenal that deBanked was 32 00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:20.260 able to pull this together. 33 00:01:20.350 --> 00:01:22.720 Sean Murray: and we said let's focus on the brokers, make sure 34 00:01:22.720 --> 00:01:25.480 they're included. They do so much good work for everybody and 35 00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:26.440 we'll call it Broker Fair. 36 00:01:26.650 --> 00:01:28.180 Heather francis: It sold out so quickly because Sean's a 37 00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:30.670 Attendee: The speakers that they had was good, went over a lot of 38 00:01:28.180 --> 00:01:28.810 celebrity. 39 00:01:30.670 --> 00:01:33.070 good topics on what's going on in the industry. I think going 40 00:01:33.070 --> 00:01:34.480 forward, this should be more of these events. 41 00:01:34.510 --> 00:01:36.430 Sean Murray: We're probably going to do a Miami event every 42 00:01:36.430 --> 00:01:38.890 single year. We just did one that one sold out and we're 43 00:01:38.890 --> 00:01:40.450 going to do Broker Fair every year as well. 44 00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:42.640 Will Murphy: I would just say do it. This year was sold out 45 00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:45.580 handful of people that were looking for a ticket online 46 00:01:45.580 --> 00:01:48.730 trying to find another ticket or to buy a ticket don't act fast. 47 00:01:48.730 --> 00:01:51.100 Act now and buy your ticket sooner than later.
