Complimentary summit nears capacity as Western brokers race to lock in 2026 playbooks
With two weeks to go until Canadian Mortgage Summit Vancouver 2026, complimentary registrations for the March 19 expo at the Vancouver Convention Centre are entering last‑call territory.
Western brokers are moving to secure spots in what has become one of the year’s most closely watched strategy gatherings.
The summit returns to Vancouver after its debut last year, following a Toronto edition that Canadian Mortgage Professional positioned as “Canada’s premier event for mortgage professionals.”
It mirrors broader growth in large‑scale industry conferences across the country, as lenders, brokers and alt providers seek forums to compare notes on a faster, more volatile market.
Free, CE‑accredited and built for a sharper market
The Vancouver summit is a one‑day, complimentary expo designed for brokers, lenders, executives and innovators from across Western Canada, with a program built around market intelligence, technology, value beyond rate and lending innovation.
The event has been pre‑approved by Mortgage Professionals Canada for four CE units in the Professional Development category for 2026, a draw for brokers looking to combine business planning with credential maintenance.
“In Vancouver we are focused on the trends reshaping the Lower Mainland, BC and Alberta mortgage markets so brokers can make confident decisions in volatile conditions,” the summit team said in its event overview.
Why brokers treat this as an unmissable day
The format goes beyond a traditional conference to connect brokers directly with senior lenders, tech providers and educators.
For another lender, the experience set a new bar. A director of broker relations for Western Canada at ThreePoint Capital said that “as this was our first CMS, the turn out and engagement was one of the best for events in our industry.”
Agents also pointed to the event’s impact on newer brokers. An agent at Money Solutions, reflecting on the 2022 summit, said they had “mostly had fun talking to every level of the industry candidly and very informally. It turned out to be the best training day for me.”
Late‑breaking content on AI, alt lending and regional risk
This year’s Vancouver program leanes into AI, automation and workflow tools, alongside practical sessions on private, MIC and alternative lending, and on standing out to a more demanding consumer base.
Joe White of REMIC, who previously used the summit stage to warn that brokers who resist technology risk becoming obsolete, wrote that AI would transform underwriting and customer service but that “brokers who prioritize personalized service will thrive” as the landscape shifts toward 2026.
Vancouver 2026 offers a final, no‑fee chance for Western brokers to pressure‑test their playbooks in one room – before a faster, tech‑driven market sets the pace for them instead.
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.
