What a fantastic day! 🎉

🙌 We're grateful to the AltFi team for hosting an incredibly insightful conference yesterday for their Lending Summit 2023. kennek’s team thoroughly enjoyed networking with lenders and investors throughout the day, and our exhibitor booth was kept busy to say the least!

🎙️ Our panel discussion was a huge success, the room was packed and our incredible guest speakers shared some exceptionally insightful points. Key take-aways on the topic of “Digitise or Die?”

👉 The lending market shift: from ‘’the big eating the small’’, to ‘’the fast eating the slow’’ - James Davis. As technology-embracing lenders outpace traditional slower incumbents responding to borrowers’ needs

👉 The constructive tension between lenders and investors regarding sharing of data should fade away with better tech and data - Georges Assi. With the evolution of technology, the long standing tension between lenders and investors over data sharing is dissipating, enabling informed lending and investment decisions.

👉 Tech is an aide to the thinking and helps human relationships between lenders and borrowers - Alan Margolis. New tech solutions allow lenders to focus on crucial analysis and client relationships, while waving goodbye to mundane, repetitive tasks.

🙌 Thank you Alan, Georges and James for sharing this moment with us and providing such a great discussion. We hope you enjoyed the day as much as we did.

🤗 Thanks to everyone involved yesterday, it truly was special.
