Event Summary
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. Even in light of the narrowed definition of an auto-dialer, Courts are allowing auto-dialer claims to survive Motions to Dismiss, allowing for discovery before determining whether calls were made using an auto-dialer. 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.
These and other important updates underscore the need for companies to be abreast with the ever-evolving TCPA paradigm to avoid risks of violations and potential litigation.
Join a panel of key thought leaders assembled by The Knowledge Group as they provide a comprehensive analysis of the current trends and recent court rulings involving the TCPA. Speakers will also offer practical compliance strategies in this rapidly evolving TCPA landscape.
Key topics include:
• Do Not Call Restrictions and Cases
• Post-Facebook ATDS issues
• Pre-Recorded Calling cases
• Wrong number call cases
• Junk Faxes and Unsolicited Advertising
• Barr v. AAPC--subject matter jurisdiction
• Statutory Damages under the TCPA/Multiple Penalties
• TCPA and the Telemarketing Sales Rule
• Florida’s Mini-TCPA
