TCPAWORLD After Leadscon: This isn’t Instagram…Its Better.

Add a comment

What happens in Vegas….

It starts with my incredible golf abilities. Top Golf. On the strip. To break the ice.

‘Bout 300 right yards right there… (thanks for the vid Jacqueline!)

Then tons of great content the first day. Here is Detroit Trading’s Matt Clayson delivering some critical information for big-time influencers *like me*.

Of course I moderated THE PANEL of the event–with loanDepot’s Puja Amin (Queenie), Smart Financial’s Kevin Rockoff (sharp guy), and Convoso’s visionary CEO Nima Hakimi. (This was really something.)

Attendance was… strong.

After the sessions there was lots to see in the Exhibit Hall…

I hung out with Austin Powers for a bit in my Czar ensemble.

And caught a peek at the TCPA litigator wall of shame (not sure this is accurate–some names seem to be missing on that list if you ask me.)

And Queenie even posed for a pic.

Then the Call Tools folks took us to a GREAT dinner.

Then a VIP happy hour sponsored by Drips, Active Prospect and something called… Consumer Consent.

(Formerly Leads Council–check their site here).

Then there was a rock show…

Like…for real.

The Countess had fun.

And I ended up on a rooftop somewhere.

Then some guy named Steve was playing at Hakkasan.

I was in bed, of course, but the kids had fun. Including Nima (remember him?) who decided to text me at 2:30 in the morning… so I put him on TCPAWorld.

Also, there was some guy passed out next to my room.

More great content the second day–including the Archduke talking media relations.

Tons of fun. Lots of new friends. Great content. I learned a lot.

Also, there are apparently some other videos and pictures floating around out there. Just remember–if you didn’t see it on TCPAWorld then it didn’t actually happen. 🙂

Now, back to work.

The Czar of TCPAWorld Eric Troutman is one of the country’s prominent class action defense lawyers and is nationally recognized in Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) litigation and compliance. He has served as lead defense counsel in more than 70 national TCPA class actions and has litigated nearly a thousand individual TCPA cases in his role as national strategic litigation counsel for major banks and finance companies. He also helps industry participants build TCPA-compliant processes, policies, and systems. Eric has built a national litigation practice based upon deep experience, rigorous analysis and extraordinary responsiveness. Eric and his team feel equally at home litigating multibillion dollar telecommunications class actions in federal court as they do developing and executing national litigation strategies for institutions facing an onslaught of individual TCPA matters. They thrive in each of these roles – delivering consistently excellent results – while never losing sight of the client experience. While many firms now tout TCPA expertise, Eric has been there from the beginning. He built one of the country’s first TCPA-only defense teams and began serving as national TCPA counsel for his clients nearly a decade ago. This perspective allows him to swiftly develop the right litigation strategies for dealing with recurring problems, without wasting time on tactics that are bound to fail. Eric’s rich historical perspective and encyclopedic knowledge of the TCPA landscape also make him an invaluable resource to institutional compliance teams struggling to comply with the shifting regulatory landscape. No task is too small – or too big. Indeed, Eric and his team have helped build TCPA-compliant systems and processes for some of the largest and most complex corporate entities in the country. He commonly works with in-house compliance counsel to build and implement enterprise and business-line specific TCPA solutions, performs TCPA audits and drafts and reviews proposed TCPA policies and procedures. He and his team also have the technical expertise necessary to assist call centers seeking to develop TCPA-resistant call path architecture or to modify existing telephony and software integration to better insulate from potential TCPA exposure. Eric has built a reputation for thought leadership. An avid blogger and speaker, he has been at the forefront of the industry’s effort to push for clarity and a return to sanity for the TCPA for years. He was selected to advocate for the financial services industry on important TCPA issues before the Federal Communications Commission and co-authored the nation’s only comprehensive practice guide on TCPA defense. In his spare time, Eric leads defense teams representing banks and other financial services companies in consumer finance litigation matters. He has experience representing clients in UCC, TILA, RESPA FCRA, CCRA, CLRA, FDCPA, RFDCPA and FCCPA claims, as well as in fraud and bank operations issues.
