Join us for the Nebraska Mortgage Association 2026 Annual Conference September 22-23 in Nebraska City.
We'll kick off with a pre-conference golf outing on Tuesday, September 22, at The Golf Club at Table Creek - shotgun start at 10 AM, with 18 holes of golf, lunch, and awards.
If golf isn’t your thing, join us at 3 PM for a Discovery Ride around Arbor Day Farm, a guided 60-90 minute covered hayrack journey through orchards, vineyards, and historic landscapes.
That evening, beginning at 6:30 PM, join us for a reception at Lied Lodge indoors or relaxing on the patio around the gas fireplace, with conversation, networking, and brief remarks from our sponsors and president.
Wednesday, September 23, join us for breakfast as we kick off a full day of sessions, with a keynote by Fred Hoiberg, along with Ernie Goss and MK Mueller. We'll have lunch and a legislative update, the presentation of the Champions Circle Awards and the much anticipated presentation of the Mortgage Professional of the Year award.
