Memphis has always been a city built on connection – from music to business, collaboration is part of its identity. That same spirit carries into the Great River MBA Conference 2026 (GRC26), one of the region’s key gatherings for mortgage professionals. Hosted at the iconic The Peabody Hotel, this event brings together industry leaders, lenders, and brokers for three days focused on growth and real partnerships.
Taking place on May 5–7, 2026, in Memphis, Tennessee, the Great River MBA Conference is built around one central idea: working together leads to better results. Through keynote presentations, and networking opportunities, attendees can explore new ways to adapt and grow in today’s evolving mortgage landscape.
Collaboration That Drives Real Results
The theme of GRC26 – “Better Together” – reflects the focus of this year’s conference. Mortgage professionals are facing constant changes, from shifting market conditions to new technologies, and collaboration plays a key role in navigating these challenges.
Throughout the event, attendees will hear from industry experts across multiple tracks, including sales, operations, and leadership. Sessions explore topics like AI readiness, mortgage production strategies, appraisal and credit trends. These discussions are designed to provide practical insights that professionals can apply directly to their daily work.
By bringing together different perspectives from across the industry, the conference creates an environment where ideas are shared openly and new strategies can take shape.
Education, Networking, and Industry Insight
GRC26 offers a balanced mix of structured learning and informal networking. Keynote sessions, including presentations from industry leaders, provide insights into where the industry is heading.
At the same time, events like network reception, lunches, and informal gatherings throughout the venue create space for meaningful conversations. These moments often lead to new partnerships and stronger professional relationships.
A Unique Conference Experience in Memphis
Beyond the sessions, the conference offers a unique atmosphere that blends business with experience. Hosted at The Peabody Hotel, attendees can participate in activities like “Massages & Mimosas,” themed networking events, and interactive sessions designed to keep the energy high throughout the event.
