Panel at eagerly anticipated event will delve into the best ways for mortgage professionals to tap into tech and AI solutions
Canadian mortgage professionals will have a clear signal about where competitive advantage now sits when the Canadian Mortgage Summit Vancouver returns to the Vancouver Convention Centre on March 19, 2026.
The one day, complimentary expo will gather hundreds of brokers, lenders and executives from across Western Canada to dissect valuation pressure, affordability strains and the technology reshaping how deals get done.
The program frames the event as a place to “reset how you operate, attract clients, and build competitive advantage,” with a focus on practical 2026 ready strategies rather than abstract futurism.
Panel to map out AI roadmaps for 2026
A centrepiece session, “Tech is reshaping the mortgage industry – Staying competitive in the next era of automation,” will drill into how AI, automation and workflow technology are redefining which brokerages grow and which fall behind.
The panel promises to help brokers “explore high impact AI use cases lenders and brokerages are scaling now,” choose “the right tech that drives speed, accuracy & client trust,” and “create a competitive roadmap for your 2026 technology plan,” before opening the floor for a Q&A.
Speakers bring frontline tech experience
On stage, Ownwell co founder and CEO Dan MacDonald will bring the perspective of a founder who already spent eight years building mortgage software at Lendesk before launching a new client engagement platform aimed at helping brokers stay top of mind with homeowners.
Filogix principal for broker channel development Ryan Spence previously described mortgage software as a way to “constantly refine your process, and adjust your workflow to find that extra efficiency.”
While Filogix is already a long-established name in the mortgage tech sector, its cutting-edge new Expert Pro software features a range of enhancements that are set to speed up and simplify the origination process even further for brokers.
Moreover, Neighbourhood Holdings senior director of originations Jared Stanley, who developed a “90 day Mortgage Broker Blueprint,” highlights how AI could help brokers turn a “brain dump” of ideas into an organized strategy.
Be sure to register now for the event, which is free to attend for members of Canada's mortgage industry and sure to be an indispensable day of education and networking.
