The NASLB SBA Loan Broker / SBA Lender Summit, held April 21, 2026, in Las Vegas, marked the debut of a national event focused exclusively on SBA loan brokers and the lenders who work with them.

Hosted at the Blind Center of Nevada and produced by The Coleman Report, the one-day summit brought together brokers and lenders for a program centered on relationships, market insights, and deal flow.

The event opened with remarks from Saul Ramos, SBA District Director of Nevada, followed by a keynote from Lexicon Bank President Stacy Watkins on the SBA lending environment.

Sessions throughout the day covered core SBA topics, while lender panels provided insight into credit appetite, deal structure, and underwriting expectations. Networking was a primary focus, with dedicated time for introductions and relationship-building.

Attendees included lenders such as Harvest Small Business Finance, TMC Financing, Bank Five Nine, Shoreham Bank, Western Alliance Bank, and others active in SBA 7(a) and 504 lending.

The inaugural summit established a new forum for broker and lender engagement within the SBA market.
