News: TMC to host act Tech Summit, an affordable, high-value event for evaluating mortgage technology
The Mortgage Collaborative (TMC), the nation’s largest independent cooperative of mortgage lenders, will convene its act Tech Summit on August 12–13 at The Highland Dallas, Curio Collection by Hilton, in Dallas, Texas. Built as a concentrated, cost-effective forum, the two-day event is designed to help lending executives efficiently assess the latest mortgage technology, compare vendors side-by-side and accelerate decision-making.
Who should attend and why it matters
Tailored for CTOs, operations leaders and CEOs steering technology strategy, the summit spotlights advancements in artificial intelligence, loan origination systems (LOS) and other emerging tools reshaping lending. Registration is open now, and attendance is not limited to TMC members, making it accessible to lenders across the market.
“The mortgage industry advances when lenders, innovators and investors are working from the same information in the same room,” said Jodi Hall, president and CEO of The Mortgage Collaborative. “The act Tech Summit was created to build that environment, where lenders can evaluate technologies in context, engage directly with solution providers and better understand how these tools perform in real-world workflows.”
What’s on the agenda
- Live technology showcases: Approximately 15 companies will present across multiple segments via demos, moderated discussions and audience Q&A.
- Head-to-head AI underwriting: A real-time comparison track will pit AI-driven underwriting platforms against the same scenarios, enabling lenders to evaluate performance, workflows and outcomes side by side.
- Loan origination systems in focus: Dedicated time for LOS providers, plus sessions featuring solutions including Candor Technology and Gateless.
Participating companies will be chosen by a panel of TMC lender members, with the final lineup slated for announcement in June.
Key dates and opportunities
- Registration: Open now (non-members welcome).
- Emerging tech presentations: Application window open through June 1; responses due by June 15.
- Sponsorships: A limited number of sponsorship and presentation slots remain. For details, contact Jodi Hall at jhall@mtgcoop.com.
Title sponsor and industry perspective
Xactus has been named the title sponsor of the act Tech Summit.
“Lenders today are under increasing pressure to move faster while maintaining accuracy and managing risk, which is where intelligent verification and AI-driven solutions play a critical role,” said Michael Crockett, COO of Xactus. “The act Tech Summit brings together the right mix of innovators and decision-makers to help the industry better understand how to apply these technologies in meaningful, practical ways.”
How this fits into TMC’s tech strategy
The summit extends TMC’s Tech Fund initiative, which gives lenders a stronger voice in shaping the mortgage technology ecosystem. By engaging lenders earlier—around real workflows, compliance requirements and borrower expectations—TMC aims to speed meaningful innovation. Bringing that model into a live event creates a structured venue to evaluate, refine and advance solutions with direct end-user input.
