VRL: Has Crisis Management Succeeded in the Leasing Industry?

• Asset Finance 2010, Conference, Expo & Awards - High Profile Conference Set To Deliver Answers

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The fifth European leasing conference organised by Leasing Life publisher, and top financial and professional services information provider, VRL will address whether recent crisis management techniques in the wake of the recession have succeeded. It will also define other industry issues for 2011 and beyond.

Asset Finance 2010 takes place on 4 November 2010 at the Grand Visconti Palace Hotel, Milan, Italy, featuring a strong programme with key figures addressing controversial and relevant topics. A key presentation, ‘Making Up For Lost Time - European Asset Finance Returns To Market’ chaired by Fabrizio Marafini, Director General of ASSILEA, the Italian Leasing Association is expected to draw a large audience.

The asset finance industry continues to pose challenges as we move into 2011, with few agreeing on which assets will bring the best return on investment. Whilst behind the scenes many face uncertainty with the viability of their existing business models with more consolidation anticipated. Lessors also need to ascertain whether to expand their portfolio of products to include factoring and loans.

Last year’s event attracted over 140 delegates from fifteen countries with 37 percent drawn from banks. 2010’s participants will benefit from information on how to:

• Identify the asset classes that bring the greatest return on investment
• Choose between offering traditional or non-traditional services
• Run a competitive leasing company in the wake of a recession
• Understand the challenges of transacting large deals, while holding on to a core SME market
• Identify the hottest assets for 2011, from waste and renewables to rail, real estate and even professions financing

The event closes with the popular and prestigious Asset Finance Awards and Awards Dinner, in association with Leasing Life and sponsored exclusively by CHP Consulting. The awards offer an unrivalled opportunity to network with peers from Italy, France, Spain, Belgium Germany and the UK.
