2024 Events Wrapped!

As the year draws to a close, we’re taking a moment to reflect on an incredible 2024 filled with growth, connection, and impact. At the Originator Connect Network, our mission to empower mortgage professionals with education, networking, and resources was brought to life in extraordinary ways. From coast to coast, we hosted 26 events that welcomed more than 13,000 attendees—each event a testament to the power of coming together to thrive in a challenging market.

By the Numbers: A Year of Milestones

This year’s journey took us across the country, with standout participation in states like California (4,365 attendees!), Texas (1,673 attendees), Nevada (1,726 attendees), and Connecticut (1,570 attendees). Our flagship event, Originator Connect in Las Vegas, earned the title of the highest-attended show with 1,726 industry professionals gathering to learn, network, and grow.

Education remained at the core of our efforts. We proudly provided free NMLS renewal classes to more than 3,000 originators nationwide, ensuring that our attendees had access to the tools they needed to stay compliant and competitive without financial barriers.

Giving Back and Building Connections

This year wasn’t just about professional growth; it was also about making a difference. Together, we donated $20,000 to Homes For Our Troops, supporting veterans and their families in building stable, secure futures. It’s a privilege to be part of a community that prioritizes both individual success and collective impact.

Looking Ahead to 2025

As we wrap up 2024, we’re already gearing up for another exciting year. In 2025, we’re expanding our California Mortgage Expo tour to include new stops in Palm Springs and Sacramento, alongside our existing shows in Pasadena, San Diego, Irvine, and Oakland. And don’t forget our annual Mortgage Holiday Party in Irvine, where we’ll kick off the season with style and camaraderie.
