EUROCATALYST EVENTS

EuroCatalyst is the creative driving force behind two major industry events, EuroCatalyst "The Event" and EuropeServicing, which have rocked the European housing finance and mortgage lending industry for their cutting edge content and undisputed attention to quality and calibre. With a five-year history behind its annual event and a two-year history for the annual EuropeServicing event, EuroCatalyst is the undisputed leader in creating events based on purpose above profit.

Shunning the widely practiced conference model of "selling" stage time to sponsors, EuroCatalyst continues to emphasize quality and content over profit. This strategy has paid off, strengthening the EuroCatalyst brand across Europe, and in many cases, prompting large companies to allocate their entire annual conference budget for EuroCatalyst events.

Although EuroCatalyst's events have expanded considerably each year, the content, production and administration have been to date carried out by a core team of two individuals.

EUROCATALYST MEDIA

Raw pre-release versions of EuroCatalyst Event programmes contain enough in-depth analysis to fill a 50-page monthly publication for an entire year, making the final programme editing a tough task indeed!!

EuroCatalyst Media grew from a desire to sustain the dialog generated at EuroCatalyst events throughout the entire year, and to offer "director's cuts" of EuroCatalyst programmes, along with commentary, to the public. EuroCatalyst events and media go hand in hand; both are designed to create and serve a dedicated community of mortgage-lending experts. EuroCatalyst events are designed to be an annual get-together of the EuroCatalyst community, while the publications are geared toward acting as the mouthpiece of that community throughout the year.

The goal of all EuroCatalyst Media endeavours is to provide objective, balanced reporting, analyses, commentary and viewpoints to the EuroCatalyst community on trends and developments in mortgage lending and housing finance in Europe and the rest of the world. EuroCatalyst events kick off with "the dialogue starts here"; EuroCatalyst publications will extend that branding to "the dialogue continues here".
