About Southeastern Small Business Lenders Conference

This year’s conference is in Cherokee, NC, where you’ll find luxury at the Cherokee Casino Resort. As one of the first SBA lending events in 2025, sponsorships and attendance will SELL OUT quickly, so we recommend registering early.

TAKE NOTE THAT WE WILL BEGIN OUR CONFERENCE AT 3:30 PM ON MONDAY WITH THE OPENING SESSION!

Extend your trip by staying the weekend prior or days following the conference based on availability to enjoy all that Cherokee has to offer.

We will provide some of the top training in the industry over a 3-day period with keynote speakers on SBA-relevant topics, economic forecasts, and breakout sessions with topics for all levels and roles in SBA lending. Take advantage of this opportunity to participate in collaborative small-group discussions that include colleagues from broad SBA lending roles and tenures. Past speakers have included representatives from the U.S. SBA’s Office of Capital Access, Office of Credit Risk Management, Office of the Administrator, Export and International Trade, as well as representatives from NAGGL and NADCO, Economics professors, and other engaging keynote speakers.
