ABOUT THE EUROCATALYST | EUROPESERVICING SERIES (2002-2008)

“It was a spectacular event. It was also fun, and I really enjoyed myself.”
— Alexander Pollock, Resident Fellow, American Enterprise Institute (and former president and chief executive officer, Federal Home Loan Bank)

“This is the perfect setting for studying the entire value chain around mortgages, to communicate with peers. … I am a big fan”
— Jean-Louis Bravard, managing director, global financial services, EDS

“EuroCatalyst is one of the few worthwhile conferences because the audience is senior and come from the leading players in each of the respective mortgage markets. The ideas and intellectual capital being shared goes far beyond recycled conference topics and touches at the heart of the most important issues driving the markets. It’s also the only event that draws people who have stopped attending conferences altogether.”
— Hoesli Labhart

“The EuroCatalyst conference is always extremely innovative in the way it is arranged; it is like shooting a movie, the setting is so unlike the usual bankers’ conference, and that is a plus. I do think it is the way to do it, compared to the usual boring material produced at other events”
— Bruno de Gasperis, head of mortgages, ABI (Italian Banking Association)

“Part of the problem of so many of the conferences held today is the disconnect between the audience and those on stage. The great thing about EuroCatalyst is their ability to generate lateral input from everyone in the room”
— Tim Skeet, head of debt capital markets, Bank of America Merrill Lynch

“The EuroCatalyst impact is growing. It’s the only conference offered in Europe that focuses exclusively on residential mortgages and yet covers its spectrum from distribution/origination to securitization and servicing. The right people are there, and it’s one of the very few conferences where spirited debate occurs.”
— Tony Porter, chief risk officer, PMI

“You really have to experience it to understand it. EuroCatalyst encourages a participatory and three-dimensional dialogue in a way that is much more thought-provoking than anything I’ve ever been to. They have created a setting in which people are forced to think about the issues long after their events are over.”
— Helena Day, Vice President, Morgan Stanley Mortgage Servicing

“So this is the event that everybody has been talking about. Having attended my first EuroCatalyst conference, I can now say that it is the most well-organised, unique and extremely interesting and valuable event I have ever attended in my entire career”
— Gerald Dillenburg, Principal Advisor on capital adequacy, European Commission

“Thank you so much for yet another great covered bond event. An event where you again succeeded in bringing together representatives from all segments of the covered bond landscape creating some very interesting panels and discussions – I loved it.”
— Lotte Bomgaard, Investor Relations, Nykredit

“I’ve been back at the office for a week and cannot stop talking about EuroCatalyst. My colleagues are beginning to think that I’ve joined a cult”
— Fanny Borgstrom, Head of Group Funding, Nordea Treasury

“I found the event as stimulating from the audience as I did onstage.”
— Karin Lissakers, Advisor to George Soros, The Soros Group

“It’s important to understand that they are doing this as industry insiders who understand every aspect and subtle nuance of the industry. EuroCatalyst was the first to validate the funding continuum of RMBS and covered bonds and positioned the importance and value of servicing. They are innovators who have established a true, ongoing and transparent think tank. Of course, in their wake have followed a host of conference copycats!”
— Alexander Batchvarov, head of global research, Bank of America Merrill Lynch

“You really have your priorities in the right place and it shows in your program. Thanks for the ideas and the meetings, we’ll always be back…”
— Liam Coleman, Nationwide
