The Commercial Loan Broker Institute (CLBI) is proud to announce our partnership with the National Alliance of Commercial Loan Brokers (NACLB) as the Official Training Partner for the NACLB 2026 Conference.

Together, we’re combining CLBI’s comprehensive training expertise with NACLB’s powerful networking platform to deliver the most impactful conference experience in commercial loan broker history.

Mark your calendars for June 15-17, 2026, when the commercial lending community will converge at the iconic Fontainebleau Miami Beach for three days of unparalleled education, networking, and deal-making opportunities.

A Partnership Built on Shared Values

As NACLB’s Official Training Partner, CLBI brings its expertise in broker education and professional development to what promises to be the premier event for commercial loan brokers in 2026. This partnership reflects our shared mission: empowering brokers with the knowledge, skills, and connections they need to thrive in an increasingly competitive marketplace.

Highlighting the education and networking opportunities with NACLB

“This partnership represents more than just an alliance between two organizations,” explains Darrick Brown, CLBI Co-founder. “Together, we’re creating a unified platform where world-class education meets unparalleled networking opportunities. This conference is where brokers at every stage of their careers can access the resources and the connections they need to get deals closed.”

NACLB 2026: A New Chapter for the Industry’s Premier Event

The NACLB Conference, the nation’s leading event built exclusively for commercial loan brokers, is experiencing a renaissance. Under brand new ownership, NACLB has been reimagined with new energy, transparency, and integrity. While the mission to empower brokers and lenders remains unchanged, the team behind the scenes is entirely new and fully committed to building trust, elevating standards, and delivering an exceptional conference experience uniting brokers from every specialty and at every stage into one powerful ecosystem.

“This is more than just NACLB returning—it’s NACLB reborn,” says Tripp Mahan, Managing Director of the NACLB Conference. “With new leadership, fresh ideas, and an unwavering commitment to integrity, NACLB 2026 will set the bar higher and deliver the experience this industry deserves.”

Educational Excellence: A Comprehensive Learning Experience

CLBI’s partnership with NACLB ensures that attendees will receive world-class educational content designed to deliver immediate, actionable value. The conference features an unprecedented scope of learning opportunities across multiple dimensions.

Educational sessions for commercial loan brokers

Educational tracks will cover best practices for brokerage growth, current market trends, emerging lead generation strategies, tactics to leverage AI for rapid scaling, and much more.  With industry roundtables, product deep dives, and sessions to level up skills, brokers at all stages will find actionable insights they can use to grow their practice and close more deals.

Beyond the Classroom: Networking That Drives Deals

While education is a foundational component of the conference, NACLB 2026 recognizes that relationships are the true lifeblood of the commercial lending industry. Multiple high-impact networking opportunities have been built into the agenda to foster authentic connections.
