Lessors Network’s Online Equipment Leasing & Finance Community Now Global

Atlanta, GA (PRWeb) January 23, 2007 -- The Lessors Network (www.lessors.com) is now regularly used by industry professionals from more than forty countries globally seeking access to equipment leasing and finance news, information, people and resources.

In 1996 John O. Semon, founder and CEO, envisioned the Internet as a useful funding/distribution utility for commercial and municipal equipment leases in the secondary markets. Today the Lessors Network delivers free access to a multitude of innovative online utilities enhancing equipment lease origination, funding, distribution and administrative networks.

While open access is available to all visitors of the Lessors Network Website, high-profile networking events hosted at the Ritz-Carlton, Buckhead hotel in Atlanta provide a more exclusive networking opportunity.

In 1998 the Lessors Network began hosting smaller, professionally intimate equipment leasing events targeting C-suite executives, from the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Atlanta. Semon explains, “Our events were built around a select group of executive decision makers. Twice annually, an elite group of senior equipment leasing and finance executives enjoy the elegant comfort of the Ritz-Carlton while identifying and evaluating strategic resources for their businesses.

"We like smaller, quality events. The larger circus atmosphere of traditional industry events just doesn’t work for our audience. We’ve continued refining our event format, recently announcing free exhibitor opportunities for approved companies participating this March in the National Lease Funding Showcase. By not charging exhibitors we expect to greatly enhance the menu of resources we want showcased at our events.”

Lessors Network events have attracted the “A-List” from the equipment leasing and finance markets including: Bank of America, Caterpillar Financial Services Corp., Chase Equipment Leasing, CIT, Citigroup, Inc., Daimler Chrysler, DB Zwirn, De Lage Landen, Dell Financial Services, Deutsche Financial Services, Diligenz, Inc., Fitch Ratings, GATX Capital, GE Capital, GE Commercial, GMAC Commercial Finance, IBM Global Financing, Information Leasing Corp., International Decision Systems, John Deere Credit, Key Equipment Finance Group, KPMG Consulting LLC, LEAF Financial Corp., Marlin Leasing Corporation, Oracle Credit Corporation, Pitney Bowes Financial Services, RVI Group, SAP America, Siemens Financial Services, Textron Financial Corporation, Toyota Financial Services, UCC Direct Services, US Bancorp, Wachovia Leasing & Equipment Finance and Wells Fargo Equipment Finance and others.
