Wow—what an incredible day in Chicago! On March 4, 2025, Courtney and I had the pleasure of welcoming a record-breaking crowd to the Chicago Mortgage Originators Expo at the Holiday Inn in Countryside. From the moment the doors opened, it was clear this was going to be a special event. We saw so many familiar faces returning, but what made it even more exciting was the number of new attendees joining us for the first time. The energy in the room was electric!
It didn’t take long for the session rooms to fill up—literally. We had standing-room-only crowds as mortgage professionals packed in to hear expert speakers share insights on market trends, growth strategies, and the latest lending opportunities. The engagement was off the charts, with attendees asking questions, taking notes, and diving deep into discussions on how to make 2025 a year of success.
Beyond the sessions, the exhibit hall was buzzing. It was amazing to watch everyone connecting—whether it was originators meeting new lenders, brokers exchanging ideas, or industry pros catching up with longtime colleagues. There’s nothing like face-to-face conversations to spark new business and opportunities, and we could feel that happening all day long.
Courtney and I loved every second of this event, and we’re so grateful to everyone who made it such a huge success. Seeing the Chicago mortgage community come together like this—especially with so many new faces in the mix—was truly inspiring.
Thank you all for being part of this incredible day. We can’t wait to do it again next year! Until then, stay connected, keep building, and we’ll see you at the next stop on the Originator Connect Network tour!
