    MISMO has been a quiet, but highly influential, resource to our industry for over 25 years, setting the standards for mortgage data and system integration. But, what happens when those standards collide with innovation, AI, and automation?

    Join our hosts Melissa Langdale and James Duncan as we debrief the conversation with Brian Vieaux, President of MISMO and Amy Moses, VP of Growth of MISMO as we discuss MISMO's Impact on the Future. We'll dive into ways lenders can begin to leverage MISMO as a strategic advantage (and even be a part of the conversation) as they lean into AI solutions that reduce repurchase risk and align with evolving GSE and regulatory expectations.
