Today's mortgage industry leaders can't afford to operate in the current business environment with obsolete ideas. It takes creative thinking at every level to move your production team forward. Companies need innovative thinkers in building their sales team and formulating their strategic plans; people able to bring forward ideas that differ from traditional business practices.

MBA's Residential Loan Production Conference 2007 is the forum that brings together industry executives, sales leaders and technology experts to discuss the following issues:

• Maintaining or increasing profitability in a tight market
• Aligning staffing to achieve increased production
• Planning and performance tools to make the right decisions
• Building a production team and business model that responds effectively to emerging industry trends
• Products available to increase market share
• Fraud prevention
