Where Compliance Leaders

Connect.
Collaborate.
Lead.

The Industry Standard for Compliance Leadership.

The 2026 Forum convenes the leaders shaping fair lending, risk, and regulatory strategy. Compliance executives, fintech innovators, law firms, and lenders come together to exchange insight, challenge assumptions, and define what responsible innovation looks like in practice.

As the epicenter of fair lending and regulatory thought leadership, The Forum delivers forward-looking strategies for navigating fair lending and CRA, mitigating financial crimes risk, and operationalizing compliance with clarity and confidence — all in the heart of New Orleans at the iconic Roosevelt Hotel, a Waldorf Astoria landmark.

Expect high-impact roundtables, candid peer dialogue, and a world-class speaker lineup focused on execution — not theory. This is where compliance leadership advances.

Registered attendees are eligible for 17 hours of CRCM and CERP credits, with select sessions qualifying for CLE (pending approval).

Just wrapped up another fantastic Fair Lending Forum 2024FLF! Huge thanks to Asurity for consistently delivering top-notch content. This year was no exception. Packed with actionable insights, timely discussions, and invaluable takeaways. Highlights for me included CRA implementation, UDAAP risk mitigation, SBL/1071, and the informative regulator panel. Can’t wait to delve deeper into the wealth of knowledge shared.

Very informational sessions on the most important present trends, challenges, needs and expectations for HMDA, Fair Lending, CRA, 1071 Small Business Lending, Fair Servicing and Responsible AI/Algorithmic use. Am bringing back pages of notes, business cards and new network colleagues, more knowledge and a deep sense that we are all now in the same boat with the avalanche of new regulations becoming effective more and less at the same time by 2025-2026.
