Monitor, a source of news and content for the equipment finance industry, opened early bird registration for its 50^th Anniversary Celebration, which will be held in Philadelphia June 14-15, 2023.

Monitor will begin the celebration on Wednesday, June 14, 2023 with a welcome rooftop reception at Stratus located at Kimpton Hotel Monaco set in the heart of Philadelphia’s iconic Independence Hall neighborhood.

The second day of the celebration will feature equipment finance industry discussions, panels and roundtables. After delivering a keynote address, John Hagel, futurist and best-selling author, will engage equipment finance leaders in a discussion designed to challenge and provoke thinking to confront the present and future of the equipment finance industry.

After Hagel’s keynote and panel discussion, an industry expert will lead participants in roundtable conversations designed to address issues impacting the industry, step into the future and think the unthinkable.

In the final session of the day, Monitor will encourage the imagination of every participant with a workshop designed to inspire collective creative minds to design the future of the equipment finance industry.

Monitor’s 50^th Anniversary Gala at the National Constitution Center, studded with equipment finance stars, will provide an evening that pays tribute to the industry’s past 50 years. Participants will enjoy exhibits and galleries spanning the past five decades, a video walk down memory lane and an entertaining live panel discussion reminiscing and pontificating on the past, present and future.

The Gala will also include:

• A special fireside chat with one of the most successful entrepreneurs of his generation, Brian Lee, who has built $4 billion companies. Lee will address universal topics important in today’s changing business landscape including culture, hiring, taking risks, growth and innovation.
• An award ceremony that will honor and acknowledge the legends who built the industry, the trailblazers who made a difference and the future leaders who will carry the torch into tomorrow.
