You are all aware of VRL's Asset Finance Conference and its great success over the past 5 years. To further align it with the industry’s leading publication this year we are going to be renaming the conference to Leasing Life European Conference & Awards. We will still be delivering the high-value content and networking experience you are used to receiving, but now under a new name.

Thank you to all of those who joined us at last year's Asset Finance Conference, Expo and Awards in Milan. We received excellent feedback on the event's sessions and speakers, and will be using your comments to bring you even more interesting topics and speakers at this year's event.

The awards ceremony was a particularly successful and enjoyable evening, with a total of nine awards given out to companies and individuals who have excelled in the asset finance profession during 2010. The awards were exclusively sponsored by CHP Consulting.

This year's conference will provide you with the knowledge to:

•Understand the changing needs of parent banks and their effect on the lessor
•Discover the opportunities for 2012 and beyond- BRICs vs. eco-opportunities
•Learn whether specialist asset knowledge is under-rated or under-exploited
•Prepare your business for IFRS
•Gain a strategic view of European leasing in 2012

Exclusive research will be presented: SMEs tell us how the new IFRS rules will affect their investment decisions and Leasing Life will also be presenting research on the client's perspective - what do they really think of your service?
