The TCPA landscape has changed since the Supreme Court’s ruling in Facebook v. Duguid, but the risks of non-compliance with TCPA rules and regulations still pervade all industries.

We have seen an increase in Do-Not-Call and pre-recorded voicemail claims since Duguid, as well. And, of course, Junk Fax Cases and Wrong Number cases still pose significant risk. States are also crafting their own state telephone protection acts which presents additional compliance issues for those who market nationwide, and particularly in Florida.

Speakers will also offer practical compliance strategies in this rapidly evolving TCPA landscape.
