If you have noticed a surge in text messages from popular businesses like Netflix, UPS, or even a popular bank claiming a problem with your account information, you are not alone.

IATAM ACE 2023 is underway in Nashville, Tenn. The annual event brings industry professionals together to connect and discuss changes in the ITAD landscape, and today HOBI’s president and co-founder, Craig Boswell, is speaking on how new ITAD services are evolving from the traditional ITAD model during a session called vITAD – The Next Generation of ITAD Services.
