"Our goal is to deliver the best conference that attendees have ever attended within the mortgage industry."

Mortgage professionals and service providers have already started signing up to attend and/or sponsor the summit. "This is going to be a great event," states George Hartmann of Diamond Springs, California-based U Save Financial. "Since Encompass is the mission critical tool we use to run our business, two days of intensive training on how to leverage the technology to its fullest extent will be invaluable. I'm also really looking forward to hearing from the line-up of speakers which is undeniably a list of the who's who in mortgage origination. I can't wait."

Those who register by December 31, 2006 will benefit from the discounted rate of $395. Thereafter, registration is $495 per person. Groups of five or more people benefit from a $100 discount per registrant.

San Francisco, which has been rated the number one city in 18 of the 19 annual Readers' Choice Awards by Conde Nast Traveler magazine, offers an abundance of sightseeing opportunities and is adjacent to California's wine country.

"This is our annual Encompass user conference and based on initial response we expect it to be huge," says Lewis. "This is the kind of event that no originator, processor, Ellie Mae lender or partner will want to miss."
