New technology took center stage last week for the innovation challenge at Digital Mortgage 2023 in Las Vegas, where 17 companies unveiled their new offerings in on-stage demos. Before a crowd of judges and potential clients and partners, presenters showed off the tricks of the tools aimed toward easing mortgage processes from customer acquisition to closing.

Tools on display ran the gamut from new loan origination systems to mortgage training programs, with a healthy dose of artificial intelligence thrown in the mix.

Apart from drawing newfound attention to their tools, cash rewards awaited for a win, place or show, as deemed by a judging panel consisting of Robin Clayton, Julian Hebron and Sue Woodard. The competition was sponsored by LendingTree.

Here is a look at the companies and products featured.
