The other panel speakers are Alan Kaplinsky (Ballard Spahr Andrews & Ingersoll LLP), Beth Moskow-Schnoll (Ballard Spahr Andrews & Ingersoll LLP), Ricardo Kilpatrick (Kilpatrick & Associates, P.C.), Rebecca Pruitt (Consumer Fraud Bureau of the Office of the Illinois Attorney General), James Wyman (JPMorgan Chase) and Carolyn Lee Hann (Federal Trade Commission).
