Event Schedule Day: Past Events

Antitrust litigation often features a low number of diverse attorneys with speaking roles in courts, as recent articles show. This panel will discuss the challenges and opportunities these groups, women in particular, face in litigation. Hear from a presiding judge, experienced litigators, and in-house counsel to learn how to navigate these issues and help grow the next generation of trial lawyers.

Join Committee Officer Fiona Schaeffer as she discusses committee innovation with the winners of this year’s Committee Innovation Awards. A great opportunity to learn from and be inspired by some of the Section’s best innovative leaders.

This past year was a year full of important developments for regulators and self-regulators on cutting-edge domestic and international consumer protection enforcement issues, including native advertising, endorsements, consumer reviews used for claims substantiation, privacy, data security, and more. Hear from experts and the people in the trenches regarding current enforcement and policy priorities and initiatives.

Please join us for an in-depth conversation with leading competition authorities about their enforcement priorities and the transactions, investigations, and cases that are making headlines this year. The Enforcers Roundtable is always a highlight of the Spring Meeting. Don’t miss it!

This panel will discuss the status of federal and state privacy legislation and other policy proposals in the United States, and how they may shift in the wake of the pandemic. How does the balance between privacy and other social welfare interests shift in a crisis? Will privacy enforcement priorities shift? Will there be a stronger push for harmonization with foreign privacy laws and policies?

While we had created an exciting Spring Superstars 2020 live performance for you featuring aspiring teen vocalists from The MusicianShip Washington Youth Choir backed by DC’s Earth, Wind & Fire Tribute Band, we are postponing performances/appearances until we can hold a to-be-scheduled Reception Bash in Washington. In the meantime, please take a few moments from your evening to check out our interviews of the teen performers (recorded in December 2019 and produced by Ian Zych, son of Tom Zych, Finance Officer), video supplied by The MusicianShip featuring several small group performances, and a video supplied by the band highlighting their December 6, 2019 performance at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts (where Section Chair Brian Henry instantly booked the band for Spring). All of these materials are available on the www.ourcuriousamalgam.com website.
