iiBIG's 15th Annual Education Finance & Loan Symposium, will take May 20-21, 2024 in the Washington DC area. The conference will be held at the Crystal City Hyatt @ Ronald Reagan Airport. This event has become known as the only conference of its kind to attract a 360-degree cross-section of all the key players in the education finance/student loan industry. Attendance at our in-person events has averaged between 125-150 and, early indications are that this year's IN-PERSON conference will continue this trend.

Now that the student loan repayment freeze has been lifted; and, the SCOTUS decision has "somewhat" clarified loan forgiveness issues, the 2024 event promises to draw a larger audience than ever!

On Monday, Aisha Smith will join "Drinking from a Fire Hose: Student Loan Servicing & Collections Roundtable," discussing such subjects as:

• With the resumption of Federal Student Loan Repayments how are Servicers adapting to new realities and challenges?
• Are 3rd Party Servicing organizations seeing an uptick in opportunities?
• What is the status of the new USDS (Unified Servicing and Data Solutions) Platform?
• Where are CFPB examiners focusing their supervisory efforts?
• How are Servicers and Collectors of Private Student Loans Assessing these Markets?
