Henrick to Keynote Texas Compliance Summit
AUSTIN, Texas — Organizers of Compliance Summit have announced that Dealertrack’s Randy Henrick will deliver the keynote address at the event, which will be held Nov. 16–17, 2015, at the Hilton Austin Airport in Austin, Texas.
“Never has compliance been a more critical and complex issue for automotive dealers. From claims of false advertising to consumer transparency to alleged credit discrimination to unfair or deceptive sales of aftermarket products, dealers are in the headlights of regulatory agencies such as the FTC, CFPB, and state attorneys general,” Henrick said. “At the Texas Compliance Summit, we will share practical insights and guidance to help dealers use proven processes and procedures to address today’s most critical laws and regulations, and help protect their dealership business and its customers from legal and regulatory scrutiny and allegations.”
Henrick, who serves as Dealertrack’s associate general counsel for regulatory and compliance matters, is widely considered one of the automotive industry’s foremost legal minds. A prolific writer and speaker, he authors Dealertrack’s annual Compliance Guide, contributes to numerous industry publications and served on a panel at the inaugural Compliance Summit in Miami last year.
“For more than 25 years, Randy has served the banking and consumer finance industry with unparalleled intelligence and legal acumen,” said David Gesualdo, show chair. “We are honored to welcome him back to the Compliance Summit stage.”
Registration for Texas Compliance Summit is open at the event’s website. Attendees who register on or before October 26 will enjoy a $100 discount. For sponsorship and exhibition opportunities, contact Eric Gesualdo via email or call 727-612-8826.
