Canada’s biggest mortgage convention is a month away.
The CAAMP Mortgage Forum runs Nov. 20-22 in Toronto.
This year’s speakers include NFL legend Terry Bradshaw, CBC’s Amanda Lang, marketing sage Seth Godin, and Shark Tank’s Barbara Corcoran, among others.
Here’s the schedule. New this year:

- 1,600+ attended last year in Montreal
- 52% of attendees are mortgage originators (2010)
- 30% of attendees are mortgage lenders (2010)

Tomorrow (Friday) is the last day for early bird pricing. Ticket prices then jump 12-15%.
We’ll be covering the expo as always. There will be at least one or two big lender/product announcements to share.

its a big drunkfest, waste of $
Personally I would like to see seminars on things that are relevant to our business, like surviving rate competition.
Bring in some economists that can share their forecasts… some representatives from government regulators that can share any concerns or provide some advice…
Some other industry professionals that can speak to new products or where mortgages are trending.. example is variable rate pricing… who saw Prime less 0% coming?
How about a Question and Answer session with some of the Major Lenders, Mortgage Insurers, some reps from the Big Brokerages and some from the Small Brokerages..
Why not have an open forum to discuss the bank’s hiring of Mortgage Specialists…? Why can’t the banks see that brokers are a better, lower cost alternative?
The trade show is the only thing worth while. The rest is just a cash grab to pay the CAAMP staff.. It’s time for change..
