EUROCATALYST 2005: LIVE FROM ROME!

26-28 September 2005

Risk, relationships and reward in European mortgage markets

Since 2002, one event has fundamentally redefined the way that we look at European mortgage markets today.

An independent and neutral "think tank", it was created by and for senior market insiders who know the markets better than any single player. Each year, it generates comprehensive dialogue to improve products, processes and practices throughout the entire mortgage value chain across European markets. Presented in talk-show format, the event features two high-profile hosts each day who provoke and engage panellists and the audience to go beyond marketing into the strategies and opportunities driving markets forward.

Focusing on countries that represent the most change and opportunity in the markets, the event has moved each year, from Madrid in 2002 to Lisbon in 2003 to Berlin in 2004.

It is the event that brought together all of the players in all of the markets in one place, at one time, for the first time -- and changed the industry forever.

This is the event everyone is talking about, the event that actually drives innovation, ideas, and business from the stage, and the event named for the role that it plays in the pan-European mortgage marketplace . . .

EUROCATALYST would like to thank all participants for helping to make EUROCATALYST 2005: LIVE FROM ROME a huge success. The annual peer-to-peer platform/think-tank for dialog on the commercial realities facing Europe’s mortgage lending markets in the context of globalisation took place over three days at the end of September 2005 and explored the theme of "risk, relationships, and reward" in the continued pursuit of improved capabilities and profitability to help accelerate deal flow and new market entry in European mortgage markets.

The annual EUROCATALYST event is distinguished by its loyal, high-profile partners and participants and the strength of its program. We thank you all.

eurocatalyst: an independent and neutral, peer-to-peer think-tank focused on commercial realities of european mortgage markets
Four years ago we set out to raise the calibre of discussion surrounding these issues and move the dialogue from a national to a pan-European basis, centering the discussion around the very real context of globalisation - however it is defined.

We chose the most interesting, innovative and influential people and their firms to join us in what has now become a collective platform operating behind-the-scenes throughout the year and culminating publicly in our annual summit.

Through interactive discussion on the commercial realities of Europe's national mortgage markets in the context of globalisation, we address the most pressing issues, identify solutions, drive markets toward best products and practices and ultimately accelerate the development of a pan-European mortgage industry which can compete effectively in global capital markets.

Since its inception the annual EuroCatalyst gathering has provided the framework and support for some of the most ground-breaking innovations in European markets to date.

The EuroCatalyst event was the first and still is the only European event to discuss the entire mortgage value chain of markets across Europe. Unlike some professional conference organisers that have moved into this space recently, EuroCatalyst is organised by people from within the industry who have a full understanding of the commercial realities facing players in the market.
