ELFA is delighted to invite all members to our Annual Conference 2025, with our co-hosts Milbank, on the new date of Wednesday 15th October! Priority complimentary member registration is now open.

Join us in person in central London, alongside 150 fellow members, partners and invited market stakeholders, to explore key issues and reconnect with peers.

Matt King, Founder of Satori Insights and a commentator on financial markets, will be the opening keynote speaker. He will set the scene for a day of in-depth panels with a presentation on the wider market backdrop and outlook.

This year’s agenda will explore:

• How should European lenders adapt to the evolving landscape of LMEs? What strategies will help them navigate Co-Op Agreements, up-tiering, cross-class cramdowns, and other emerging structures?
• What key trends have shaped the new issue process this year? Have these developments created advantages or challenges for lenders?
• As transfer restrictions tighten, how can loan agreements be made clearer, fairer, and more consistent? What steps can lenders take to enhance transparency and uniformity in practices?
• How is private credit’s expansion into the mainstream and the shifting retail landscape transforming the market? What signs indicate that the industry is maturing beyond direct lending?
• What regulatory changes are on the horizon for the Leveraged Finance market? How are policymakers viewing the sector? What shifts can we expect in 2026 and beyond?
• Are European and US LevFin market trends continuing to diverge? What are the implications of this divide – opportunity, risk, or something in between?

Priority will be given to Member Firm representatives for places at the conference.

We look forward to reconvening for our 4th Annual Conference in October!
