The National Equipment Finance Association’s 2023 Funding Symposium, titled “Lassoing Opportunities for Success,” will take place from Oct. 3-6 at the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa in San Antonio.

Calvin Stovall, CEO of Iconic Presentations, will serve as the event’s keynote speaker. Stovall will share his insights on leadership, innovation and harnessing opportunities for success.

This year’s symposium will also feature a “Texas Tailgate & Hold’em Charity Tournament,” hosted by the NEFA’s philanthropy committee. Taking place on Oct. 3, this charity event will feature an evening of yard games, Texas-style tailgating and a Texas Hold’em poker tournament, all while contributing to two deserving causes: the National Lymphedema Network and the Indy Foundation.

On Oct. 5, the NEFA will invite attendees to join “The NEFA Roundup,” a special fundraiser for the Chris Walker Education Fund. This evening event will feature food and beverages, a live band and even armadillo races. All proceeds from “The NEFA Roundup” will support the Chris Walker Education Fund.

“Our Funding Symposium is the hallmark of the equipment finance industry, and this year’s theme emphasizes seizing the opportunities that lie ahead,” Chad Sluss, CEO of the NEFA, said. “We are equally thrilled to host the Texas Tailgate & Hold’em Charity Tournament and The NEFA Roundup, where we can come together as an industry to make a meaningful impact.”

The deadline to take advantage of special rates for hotel accommodations for the symposium is today, so be sure to register and reserve your room.
