Hi guys,

I'm new to the forum. I'm a Canadian funder. I'm wondering what the most popular trade shows are in the US for merchant cash advance / alternative biz lending as I would like to attend them in the future. Any info would be great.

Thanks,
Dave

ETA, Money 20/20, SEAA, NEAA, MWAA, WSAA

I'd add LendIt to that list.

I'd probably also say no need to go to NEAA, MWAA, WSAA and SEAA. THey are all the same show with the same people for the most part. Go to whichever one is more cost effective or makes sense with scheduling. Also, if there are specific funding companies you are looking to see, you can reach out and find who will be there. MWAA is the next one up, but is usually the worst of the bunch. I would also throw NEAA in the lower half of quality for those shows, but that may change now that it isnt going to be in a ski resort every year.

I will say MWAA was better when it was in Chicago, but since it is in the burbs again I would expect it to not be as good.

It really is disappointing that these regional shows are ran more like an "old boys club" than they are a business.

We've always done well at the regional shows

Money 20/20 is what I've been told by numerous peers is one of the best shows. The cost to attend is expensive though compared to other shows-
