EXPOSURE
SEEN ON THE SCENE
THE FIVE STAR
MPACT 2013
The 2nd annual MPact
conference hosted by DS News'
sister publication, MReport,
and parent company, the Five
Star Institute, drew some of the industry's foremost
decision makers and thought leaders. Gathering at
the new Omni Mandalay Hotel in the Las Colinas
suburb of Dallas, Texas, on March 28, these mortgage
heavyweights took advantage of the event's interactive,
open forum concept to address today's most pressing
challenges with their colleagues and peers. The
collaborative, roundtable-style Mind Matters discussions
confronted the regulatory landscape and compliance,
credit and refinance policies, tools for managing data
and risk, title and closing issues, and the state of
valuations. Attendees were empowered by this year's
innovative and interactive format—a design intended
to give each and every participant a voice in shaping
the evolution of their business, their future success,
and their industry.
