Designed with you in mind, this virtual program addresses a range of timely issues including the implications of marketing communications, increasing use of artificial intelligence technologies by the industry, cryptocurrency and NFTs, debt collection compliance at the state and federal level, and more. By the end, you will possess a greater awareness of the issues you are likely to face in your in-house roles and best practices to address them.
