HANOVER, Md. — Officials from the National Automotive
Finance Association set the dates for its next Non-Prime Auto Financing
Conference, an event that will mark its 18th year in 2014.

NAF Association's next annual event will be conducted on May
28-30 at the Omni Fort Worth Hotel in Fort Worth, Texas. The association
acquired 25-percent more conference space to accommodate more programs,
sessions and expansion of the exhibit hall.

In keeping the primary focus on member needs, NAF
Association leaders highlighted the 2014 annual conference will provide an
excellent forum for education and networking for those within the non-prime
auto finance sector.

"This highly regarded conference will cover the hot topics
pertinent to the industry, continuing education sessions for the all new
Compliance Officer Certification and results from the newly formatted NAF
Association Survey," executive director Jack Tracey.

The NAF Association shared a handful of reviews from this
past June's conference, including:

—Exeter Finance: "Good information was
delivered in the breakout sessions and (participants were) able to network with
fellow associates from other institutions."

—Summit Financial Corp.: "The conference program and the vendor market place were top
notch. Choice of hotel and location could not have been better."          

—GM Financial: "Useful/interesting information presented and great
speakers."
