More Sessions Confirmed for Larger Market Participant Summit April 21-22

Now is the time to register for insideARM’s 4^th Annual Larger Market Participant Summit. We’ve just confirmed a number of sessions unique to this event.

First, if you attended last year, you know how valuable the sessions with the CFPB were. These breakouts offered the opportunity for small groups to meet with multiple representatives from across CFPB departments. There are no prepared speeches. The entire session consists of back and forth dialogue, where both groups ask questions and gain a better understanding of the other side.

Confirmed CFPB participants for this year

Consumer Response – Darian Dorsey, Office of Consumer Response, Chief of Staff
Enforcement – Greg Nodler, Senior Counsel for Enforcement Policy and Strategy
Markets – John McNamara, Debt Collection Program Manager
Regulations – Dave Hixson, Counsel, Office of Regulations; Tom Pahl, Managing Counsel, Office of Regulations
Research – Erik Durbin, Senior Economist
Supervision – Tracy Chin, Attorney; Mike Mastman, Attorney-Advisor

Conversation with national consumer finance reporters

Another unique session for this year is a conversation (again, not a speech) with national consumer finance reporters who write for different audiences: consumers, business people, investors, and policymakers.

We read about debt collection in the news on a regular basis. Compliance-minded industry leaders are often frustrated by the lack of explanation of how legitimate collectors work, and the fact that the majority of interactions with consumers do not mirror those that get the most attention. This is your chance to ask the questions, and to provide a perspective on debt collection they may not receive elsewhere.

Meet with:

The Wall Street Journal – Rachel Witkowski, Reporter (formerly with American Banker)
ProPublica – Paul Kiel, Reporter
The Capitol Forum – Teddy Downey, CEO & Executive Editor
