From October 19 to 22, leaders across the mortgage and lending industry will gather in Las Vegas for the MBA Annual Convention & Expo 2025. This year’s agenda centers on the forces reshaping financial services today: shifting regulations, market pressures, and the technology transforming how institutions approach compliance and risk management.
This event represents an important moment for reflection and collaboration for RiskExec. As a platform that helps financial institutions turn complex data into actionable compliance insights, we see MBA Annual25 as a key opportunity to engage directly with the trends shaping compliance today.
The MBA Annual agenda brings policy leaders, regulators, and technology innovators together in one room. Sessions on the future of housing finance, fair lending oversight, and emerging AI applications in mortgage technology all reflect the growing convergence between compliance and innovation.
At RiskExec, we view this convergence as the defining challenge and opportunity of the next five years. The question is not whether technology will transform compliance, but how institutions can harness it responsibly while maintaining the transparency and governance that regulators demand.
Across the industry, compliance expectations are rising. Examiners are asking for deeper data evidence, fair lending analytics are becoming more quantitative, and institutions are expected to demonstrate fairness proactively rather than retroactively.
We expect MBA Annual25 to reinforce this theme. Panels on data management, model risk, and regulatory modernization will spotlight how lenders can transform compliance from a reactive reporting exercise into a continuous, insight-driven process.
RiskExec’s mission aligns directly with this evolution. We help institutions centralize their data, streamline regulatory submissions, and visualize potential risk areas before they become exam findings. Our focus in Las Vegas will be to hear how teams are applying analytics today and identify what support they’ll need in the future.
One of the most anticipated threads at this year’s conference is how AI and automation are being applied responsibly within lending operations. The conversation has moved beyond experimentation to accountability. Institutions are asking how to explain model outcomes, monitor for bias, and maintain interpretability. At MBA Annual25, we look forward to learning how peers are designing control frameworks and ensuring their technology investments strengthen, not strain, compliance oversight.
Join us on November 6 from 1 to 4 PM ET for RiskExec Connect, our free virtual event bringing together compliance leaders, economists, and policy experts for a closer look at what’s ahead in 2026.
Hear from Dr. Anurag Agarwal, Dr. Marsha Courchane, Rob Chrisman, and other industry leaders as they discuss evolving regulatory cycles, fair lending trends, and the future of mortgage compliance.
What we appreciate most about MBA Annual is the focus on real examples. Institutions share what worked, what didn’t, and how they navigated shifting examiner expectations. These stories surface practical insights that can inform how RiskExec evolves our own platform and support model.
We plan to spend time in sessions and one-on-one conversations learning from practitioners who are driving meaningful change in compliance operations. Those lessons often lead directly to product enhancements, analytics improvements, or new educational resources for our clients.
Throughout the week, the exhibit hall will serve as a hub for conversation, connection, and collaboration. You can find the RiskExec team at Booth 807, where we will be hosting in-depth discussions on:
