LAS VEGAS — RMAI’s Annual Conference has always had a Super Bowl connection, given its position on the calendar. And, for the first time ever, the conference and the Super Bowl are in the same city, just days apart. Coincidences aside, the atmosphere around the event heading into its first day of content today is just as anticipatory as it is for Super Bowl Sunday itself. Making everything even more exciting is today is the presidential primary in Nevada for Democrats and Republicans, too.
RMAI has leaned into the Super Bowl hype, for example replacing its annual Cabana Crawl with a Tailgate Party on Wednesday night. Even the tagline for the event — Score a Networking Touchdown — is looking to take advantage of the overlap between the conference and Super Bowl week.
But beyond that, the excitement and optimism heading into this year’s conference appears to be higher than ever. The market has been undergoing a rebirth over the past year and those attending this year’s conference are looking to capitalize on those new opportunities.
“I would tell you, from my from my perspective, I feel like there will be more debt purchasing activity than we’ve seen in the past three to four years,” said Michael Lamm, during an AccountsRecovery.net webinar last month on what 2024 has in store for debt buying and selling. ” “I think it’s going to be a very, very active year, just due to what we’re seeing and what we saw in the fourth quarter of 2023. I think you’re going to continue to see more and more debt sales across all the different vertical markets because it’s becomes an easy way for some of the bigger creditors to bring in cash faster. So I definitely see this year to be a very active debt buying year for folks in the space.”
