Deborah Reuben, CEO & Founder of TomorrowZone, along with asset finance company DLL, announced their plans to launch the Beyond Convention: EF Innovators UnConference – the first-ever industry-wide community innovation challenge to meet the urgent tech needs of equipment finance lessors and lessees.

As the industry faces the significant challenges from the pandemic and subsequent economic fallout, equipment finance organizations across the world are trying to navigate through uncharted waters to refine operating processes, reopen their facilities, deliver value to customers and vendors, and embrace innovation and technology in an urgent manner.

In collaboration with DLL, co-founding sponsor of the challenge, the Beyond Convention: EF Innovators UnConference will engage forward-thinking, innovation-minded professionals and experts across the equipment finance ecosystem to contribute to ongoing discussions about technology, innovation, and the future. The Beyond Convention: EF Innovator UnConference kicks off with a fall roundtable series on December 3rd and December 8th, which will include a community element for participants to continue engaging outside of each session.

Revolutionary ideas can come from unconventional collaborations."

The design focus of the series and community is to not only showcase innovation thought leadership, but to elevate it beyond that and turn ideas into tangible actions. Collectively the participants in the community and conference series will be part of the ongoing discussion and activities shaping the future and creating groundbreaking solutions to some of the most complicated issues of our time.

We are excited to launch a community to challenge our thinking, include fresh voices, connect unlikely collaborators and ignite new ideas to shape the future.”
