ACA International’s 2022 Convention & Expo is officially underway July 20, bringing together the accounts receivable management (ARM) industry for three days of fun, networking, education and lifelong memories.
This event has something for everyone, from new professionals in the industry to emerging leaders and seasoned collections experts.
“I know that there are many issues our agency members are facing today,” ACA CEO Scott Purcell said in a recent interview with Mike Gibb at AccountsRecovery.Net.
“We put together some top-notch industry experts for the education pieces, and they’re going to delve into all the issues from operations, the difficulty hiring, onboarding, the hybrid work environment, all the way to the complex issues that we have in our compliance management systems and how that landscape continues to evolve.”
Convention is ACA’s biggest event of the year, bringing together members and ARM industry professionals who are part of your community. This is the event where you can build new friendships that can last a lifetime.
Registration is from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. July 21, 7 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. July 22, and 7 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. July 22.
Here are a few of the opportunities to learn and network you can expect at ACA’s convention:
On the Main Stage
- How to Be an Ally with Keynote Denise Hamilton, Wednesday, July 20. Hamilton will challenge and encourage you to excavate the underlying beliefs that shape your opinions, understand differences, teach tools to resolve conflicts, and become even better at building allies in and out of the workplace.
- The Forefront of Federal & State Advocacy, Thursday, July 21. Advocacy impacts your bottom line, your relationship with your clients and your long-term viability. ACA’s advocacy is one of your top member benefits. In this session, industry advocacy champions will share with you the latest at the state and federal levels.
- 3 Mindful Steps to Break the Stress-Success Cycle with Keynote Dr. Romie Mushtaq, Friday, July 22. Mushtaq’s “3 Mindful Steps” will truly shift your personal and professional lives to help you refocus and step out of the “stress-success” cycle. This keynote goes into the neuropsychology and mental health syndromes affecting cognitive performance and emotional control—then wraps it all up in easy-to-digest and practical takeaways.
There will be fun activities too, including your chance at ax-throwing with your peers at Stumpy’s Hatchet House to benefit the ACPAC Admin Fund, as well as events for women in collections. Limited tickets are still available for the event benefiting ACPAC’s Administrative Fund. Transportation will be provided.
