2025 Compliance Champions Workshop

Tuesday, September 9, 2025 to Wednesday, September 10, 2025
The Compliance Champion Playbook: Winning Strategies for Success

In today’s quickly evolving auto finance landscape, compliance isn’t optional—it’s essential. Every transaction, every customer interaction, and every policy is shaped by a complex web of federal and state regulations. 

That’s why the Compliance Champions Workshop is a must-attend event for professionals ready to meet these challenges head-on.

What to Expect:
  • Expert-led discussions on the latest regulatory developments

  • Practical tools and strategies to strengthen your compliance program

  • Collaborative breakout sessions with peers and industry leaders 

  • Real-world insights tailored for the unique demands of non-prime auto finance

Whether you're leading your organization's compliance efforts or looking to sharpen your regulatory knowledge, this workshop will leave you better prepared, better connected, and more confident in your role.

"This workshop stands out from others because of its targeted, practical approach. It is a fantastic addition to the year-round support we receive from the NAF Association. It brings fresh perspectives, practical strategies, and the latest updates, reinforcing the continuous compliance resources we depend on. I’m already looking forward to attending again next year. The insights were invaluable, and the chance to connect with other compliance professionals made it an experience I wouldn’t want to miss!"
Jody Lambert - VP, Dealer Services Risk Management - Anderson Brothers Bank
This isn’t your typical conference. It’s where compliance gets practical, personal, and just a little more fun. 

Activities begin on Tuesday with the NAF Association's Compliance Roundtable Program quarterly meeting and working lunch from 12:00–1:30 p.m. The workshop officially kicks off at 2:00 p.m. and attendees are invited to unwind and connect at a casual social hour later that evening. The workshop wraps up by 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, giving you plenty of time to gain practical strategies and still catch your flight home.
