MBE London 2026 confirms seminar programme
The event will take place at the Business Design Centre in London on 20th October, bringing together brokers, lenders and service providers.
Mortgage Business Expo (MBE) has confirmed its seminar programme for MBE London 2026, covering the mortgage market outlook, specialist property finance, buy-to-let (BTL), credit, technology and artificial intelligence (AI).
The event will take place at the Business Design Centre in London on 20th October, bringing together brokers, lenders and service providers.
The programme will include a keynote address from Rob Elder, agent for Greater London at the Bank of England.
The main theatre will feature sessions on rates, pricing and lender growth expectations, credit issues, buy-to-let and the impact of AI on mortgage advice.
MBE will also continue its partnership with the Financial Intermediary & Broker Association (FIBA), which will host two sessions focused on specialist property finance.
Speakers across the programme will represent firms including HSBC, Stonebridge Group, Bank of Ireland, Nottingham Building Society, Atom bank, Metro Bank, Hinckley & Rugby Building Society, Keystone Property Finance, Nomo Bank, OneSavings Bank, Fleet Mortgages and Iress.
A third theatre will host practical business sessions from Grow with Google covering AI, social media and building a business online.
Confirmed exhibitors at the event include Atom bank, Fleet Mortgages, Pepper Money, Bank of Ireland, Gatehouse Bank, Keystone Property Finance, Nationwide for Intermediaries, Nomo Bank and Precise.
MBE said visitor numbers at its 2025 London event increased by more than 7% year-on-year, with attendees spending an average of five hours at the Business Design Centre.
The 2026 event will be free to attend, with attendees able to earn CPD hours through the seminar programme.
Mike Mikunda, event director for MBE, said: “Last year’s attendance was another indication of how much value brokers continue to place on getting people from across the market together in one place.
“Perhaps even more telling was the amount of time people spent at the Expo. An average visit of five hours suggests brokers are coming with a purpose – to have proper conversations, hear different views and spend time with lenders they may not otherwise get to see face-to-face.
“That is what we want to build on this year. The seminar programme covers some of the areas where brokers are having to make more complex decisions for clients, from credit and specialist finance through to buy-to-let and AI.
“If someone leaves MBE with a new contact, a better answer for a difficult case or an idea that helps their business, then the day has done its job.”
Martin Reynolds, chief executive officer of SimplyBiz Mortgages and FIBA chairman, added: “One of the biggest opportunities for brokers is being able to recognise when a case that falls outside their usual work can still be helped.
“You do not have to know every part of specialist property finance yourself, but you do need to know when to ask another question, who to speak to and how the different parts of a transaction fit together.
“That is very much the thinking behind the FIBA sessions this year.
“We want to make specialist finance accessible to brokers who may not deal with it every day, while also giving experienced firms a chance to hear how others are approaching cases and working together.”
