Annual Symposium
Focused, Fueled, & Fearless
Our annual Symposium takes place every Fall where all loan officers and branch managers are gathered in a company-wide event. This is a two-day event, packed with networking opportunities, APM leadership messages and several keynote speakers in our general sessions—focused on both personal and professional areas of development.
Our sessions take an in-depth approach into relevant topics related to sales strategies, tactics or skill training to help our producers win every day. For two days our sales teams gather for instruction, coaching and celebrating.
CREATING EXPERIENCES
THAT MATTER ™
Leadership Workshop
We gather our leaders each year to collaborate, innovate, and inspire one another. These workshops dive into critical topics like workflow optimization, branch profitability, economic forecasting, recruiting and growth strategies, and enhancing both the customer and employee experience. It’s a time to step out of the day-to-day, connect across the organization, and align on the strategies that will drive our success in the year ahead.
Business Planning
At American Pacific Mortgage, we invest in our loan officers’ success by bringing in the industry’s top minds—like Tim Braheem of The Loan Atlas—to lead exclusive business planning workshops. These sessions equip our originators with proven planning frameworks, expert insights, and strategies for sustainable growth, helping them start each year with clarity, focus, and momentum. It’s just one of the many ways we empower our producers to build thriving, long-term businesses.
Product Training
We make sure our loan officers have the knowledge and support they need to excel. From new product launches to specialized programs and niche financing solutions, our training goes beyond the basics, equipping originators with real-world scenarios, expert guidance, and on-demand resources. The result: confident, informed loan officers who can close more deals.
Sales Training
At American Pacific Mortgage, We help our loan officers grow their business with targeted sales training designed for real-world results. From proven prospecting strategies and referral partner development to communication skills and time management, our training empowers originators to build stronger relationships, convert more opportunities, and consistently hit their goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

American Pacific Mortgage (APM) hosts a full calendar of leadership, elite coaching, and professional development events designed specifically for loan officers, branch managers, and mortgage executives. These include peer-led mastermind groups, business-growth workshops, and culture-focused sessions that strengthen collaboration and fuel production.
Our premier event is the annual APM Symposium—a high-impact, multi-day gathering where hundreds of top producers and branch leaders come together for inspiration, education, and recognition.
Throughout the year, we also offer Leadership Workshops, Business Planning Series, elite coaching partnerships, and ongoing professional development opportunities to help you increase production, strengthen leadership skills, and scale your branch with confidence.
-
Most APM events are designed for current loan officers, branch managers, and APM leadership. However, we frequently invite prospective branches, independent mortgage banks (IMBs), and top-producing loan officers to experience our culture, leadership, and platform firsthand.
If you’re exploring a move to APM, attending an event is one of the best ways to see how we operate, meet our leadership team, and hear directly from peers about why they joined.
-
APM events are built as experiences, not meetings. Every event is intentionally designed to drive business growth, deepen connections, and highlight the impact of our employee-owned culture.
You’ll learn directly from APM’s executive leadership, elite coaches, top producers, and industry experts who share actionable strategies—not theory. All gatherings reflect our core values of Respect, Transparency, and Scrappy, and showcase the entrepreneurial mindset that powers our organization.
Whether it’s a general session at Symposium or an intimate mastermind, APM events are immersive, high-energy, and created for originators who want to grow. -
APM events offer a firsthand look at how we operate as a nationally ranked, employee-owned mortgage lender. Attendees walk away with:
- Proven business growth strategies
- Leadership and branch-management insights
- Marketing tools and best practices
- Access to elite coaching and mastermind groups
- Real-world examples from top producers
Most importantly, you’ll join a community of high-performing originators and branch leaders who collaborate, share ideas, and support one another’s success. These connections (and the strategies you take home) can directly impact your production and profitability.
-
