LoanPro, the modern lending and credit platform, will host the third annual Salt Flats Summit Sept. 16-18, bringing lending and credit executives back to the Bonneville Salt Flats for three days of sessions, product showcases and a keynote setting unlike anything else on the fintech conference calendar. The invite-only gathering sold out at 200 in-person attendees in its second year in 2025. This year LoanPro is opening the guest list to as many as 500.

The Summit opens the evening of Sept. 16 with a welcome reception at the Olympic Oval, the speed skating venue built for the 2002 Winter Games, where Roberts will be joined on stage by Parra and Brad Wilson for a conversation on what it takes to win at the highest level. Guests can skate or curl on the same ice used by Olympic athletes before the group heads out to the flats the next morning.

Day two moves the entire Summit onto the Bonneville Salt Flats, the 30,000-acre stretch of white desert where land speed records have been set for a century. LoanPro built a full day of programming around the same idea: sessions on where North American credit is heading, what AI infrastructure actually looks like in production with AWS, and how lenders are rebuilding their payments and origination stacks, followed by afternoon activities on the flats, a dinner under the open sky, customer awards and a live performance by LifeHouse.

The final day returns to breakout format, with three concurrent tracks covering payment rail strategy, AI-driven fraud threats and what lenders need to have in order before their next regulatory exam.

“We have had excellent feedback that this unique event is truly unlike any other. We have created the ideal conditions for people to show up as their genuine selves. The content is superb, more conversations are quality, authentic relationships are built, and more deals get done here than at any other conference in the industry,” said Rhett Roberts, CEO of LoanPro.

LoanPro launched the Salt Flats Summit in 2024 as an alternative to the standard fintech conference circuit, trading exhibit halls for an unconventional venue built around direct, high-level conversation among founders, CTOs and product leaders at credit unions, banks and fintech lenders. Attendance is by invitation only.
