Keynote Speakers:
Rich Cordray, founding director of the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
Rohit Chopra, Commissioner, U.S. Federal Trade Commission

Opening Remarks:
Michael Barr, Joan and Sanford Weill Dean, Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy

This two-day conference will explore the status of consumer financial protection as it affects American borrowers, investors, small business owners and those planning for retirement. Rich Cordray, founding director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and Rohit Chopra, commissioner at the Federal Trade Commission, will serve as keynote speakers. A full agenda is posted at http://financelawpolicy.umich.edu/consumer-protection-age-uncertainty

More than two dozen speakers will include researchers, policymakers, rule-enforcers, and consumer advocates -- with disproportionate numbers of speakers who have testified before Congress, organized coalitions, litigated class actions, and created new entities to protect consumers. If you have ever applied for a mortgage, refinanced a student loan, or used an app to send money to someone, this conference will cover something that directly affects you.

All sessions will take place in the Annenberg Auditorium at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy, located at 735 S. State Street, Ann Arbor. All speakers and attendees must register online in advance. This event will be free and open to the media.

Co-sponsored by: The Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy, Affordable Michigan, Bankruptcy Law Society, Business Law Association, Consumer Advocacy and Financial Regulation Organization (CAFRO), Michigan FinTech
