ARLINGTON, Va. — With panels about how buyers obtain vehicle financing, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and more, the Consumer Bankers Association is packing several discussions into a three-day event.

Officials from the National Automobile Dealers Association, the American Financial Services Association and service provider ResponseLogix are all scheduled to be a part of CBA Live: Banking on the Future. It's set for March 19–21 at the Hilton Austin in Austin, Texas.

Beginning the event's second session, Charlie Vogelheim, vice president of strategic alliances at ResponseLogix, will moderate a panel discussion dubbed, "The Digital Consumer."

CBA indicated a panel of experts will discuss how the digital consumer will buy a vehicle. The association believes attendees will learn how technology will impact businesses as consumers become more comfortable with new tools available, and how purchases in this rapidly growing segment will be financed.

Later during the event, Bill Himpler, executive vice president of the American Financial Services Association, and Andrew Koblenz, vice president at NADA, will headline a panel discussion titled, "The Changing Regulatory Landscape."

"As a result of the Dodd-Frank Act, both the CFPB and the FTC will have rulemaking authority for the auto industry," CBA event organizers pointed out.

"The FTC has already been active in this area by hosting several roundtables over the past year to address auto finance issues, which may lead to additional rulemaking that will affect auto lenders. This session will discuss this joint rulemaking authority and review the issues raised during the recent FTC roundtables," they continued.

CBA Live: Banking on the Future includes more than a dozen panel discussions, executive addresses and presentations about banking, student loans, the housing sector and more.
