Participants will gain practical knowledge about current bank underwriting standards and lending environments. The event emphasizes identifying partnership opportunities that can collectively improve small businesses’ ability to access needed capital. Hear directly from regional bankers and alternative lenders about:

- Common barriers to extending credit
- Current market conditions and trends
- Non-traditional lending products and solutions
The program also includes a presentation of key findings from both the Federal Reserve Small Business Credit Survey and the NVSBDC Small Business Challenges Survey, providing insights into small business credit needs and challenges and how small businesses are adopting artificial intelligence (AI).
