IMLA events

IMLA has hosted an annual dinner since it began operating as a trade body. This has become an established and popular event in the mortgage market calendar and normally takes place in the second or third week of September.

IMLA Annual Dinner 2027

Our Annual Dinner in 2027 will be held on Thursday 9th September at the Marriott Hotel, Duke Street, London W1K 6JP.

For further information on the dinner please contact Andy Morris at AE3 Media Andrew.Morris@ae3media.co.uk

IMLA welcomes sponsors for all its events not least because they provide excellent opportunities for firms that wish to showcase their products and services to the intermediary mortgage market. If you wish to explore sponsorship opportunities please contact IMLA’s Executive Director, Kate Davies – kate.davies@imla.org.uk

"ExPo" Events for new and recent joiners to the industry

Starting in 2023, we have held five events aimed at new and recent joiners to our industry – from both lender and intermediary firms. These one-day “ExPos”, held in a range of venues including Birmingham, Leeds, Reading, Manchester and Edinburgh, have provided a high-quality programme of presentations from industry experts on a wide range of subjects affecting the mortgage and housing markets. They also give attendees an excellent opportunity to network with their peers from other firms of all sizes and geographical locations, and have been very well received.

So far in 2026 we have held our sixth “New Starters” ExPo in Cardiff, and shall be presenting the seventh in the series on Wednesday 25th November at the MacDonald Botley Park Hotel, Winchester Road, Boorley Green, Southampton SO32 2UA. Registration will open on 30th September – please check the Mortgage Solutions website for further details.

Following the success of the “ExPo” events, we are also running four virtual “Career Progression Events” in 2026. These one-hour online events are aimed at building on the information provided at the ExPos, and helping new and recent joiners to the industry to continue to develop on their strengths and skills. We are running these sessions in conjunction with AE3 Media, and you can find out more from the Mortgage Solutions website (https://www.mortgagesolutions.co.uk/events/imla-career-progression-virtual-events/).
