Dear Colleague,
I am pleased to invite you to attend the iiBIG
2010 Student Loans Financing Congress
which will be held May 10th & 11th at the
Capital Hilton in Washington, DC.
During the last two years, student loan finance has endured
a series of landscape altering political and economic events.
Fallout from the capital markets turmoil of 2008 and 2009 continues
to fundamentally impact liquidity for existing student loan-backed
securities and the availability of private capital to fund or
refinance student loans. Student loan holder yield reductions
in late 2007 followed by a legislative effort to shift all student
loan funding to a federal, direct lending model have led to
uncertain futures for FFELP lenders, loan servicers and other
industry service providers. And amidst all this change the nation’s
schools, students and families remain concerned about preserving
an uninterrupted, timely flow of loan funding and quality long
term service to borrowers.
The iiBIG 2010
Student Loans Financing Congress will be an
important gathering of industry professionals at an important
time. Whatever the final legislative outcome for FFELP, there
will be lasting change in the FFELP lending infrastructure going
forward. At this conference, key industry professionals will
address a number of capital markets, operational and policy
issues including:
-
Recent
efforts and challenges to restructuring frozen ARS and VRDB
“bank bonds”
-
The
evolution and viability of state-based private (non-federally
guaranteed) student loan programs
-
An
update on the demand for private (non-federally guaranteed)
student loans and changes to the underwriting standards and
financing structures for these loans
-
A
view from market’s perspective on liquidity and demand
for student loan asset-backed securities
-
An
update on the success and future of the Straight A Funding
conduit vehicle
-
How
loan servicers will respond and reposition in a post-FFELP
environment
-
The
changing landscape and regulatory environment for private
trade schools
-
An
exploration of the legislative horizon (and a review of recent
legislative actions) for FFELP and private (non-federally
guaranteed) student loans.
Please join me and your industry colleagues for a day and a
half of information sharing, new insights and trend discovery.
There has perhaps never been a more important time to hear from
and talk with industry experts and leaders who will shape the
future of the student loan delivery and servicing infrastructure.
I look forward to seeing you on May 10th & 11th at the Capital
Hilton in Washington, DC.
Very truly yours,
