Syndifi, an online syndication software provider built specifically for the equipment finance industry, will participate in Monitor’s upcoming livestream: Syndication: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow on Sept. 9 from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. EST.

The livestream will take a deep dive into the trenches of the current syndication model within equipment finance. It will address the history of syndication in the equipment finance industry, its current state and its potential future. The livestream will discuss the opportunity to impact change in syndication, simplify the process and introduce operational effectiveness to the secondary market of equipment finance.

The livestream will be moderated by Vince Belcastro, group head of syndications and capital markets at Element Fleet Management, and will feature four panelists: Dan Michalek, CEO and founder of Syndifi; Matt Green, head of equipment finance at J.P. Morgan; Candace Reinhart, senior vice president of operations and syndications at CoreTech Leasing; and Joel Zeller, syndication manager at Verdant Commercial Capital.

“The secondary market within equipment finance has not seen much transformation or innovation in the past several decades,” Michalek said. “We look forward to kickstarting a lively discussion about the future of our industry and opportunities to innovate beyond industry principles to drive industry growth.”

The livestream will address:

• What does the current syndication process look like?
• Industry trends
• What are some of the pain points faced in the marketplace?
• Is there resistance to change within the secondary market of equipment finance? If yes, what does that look like?
• Is there any motivation to update the transition model to compete in the digital age?
• What opportunities are there within the day-to-day operations of syndication?
• Are there any solutions to solve the antiquated model?
• What would the modern-day syndication process look like?
