An Invitation from ITechLaw President John M. Carson
It is my sincere pleasure to invite you to the International Technology Law Association’s Annual Meeting and World Conference, to be held in vibrant Seattle at the historic Fairmont Olympic Hotel, May 14-15, 2009.
Delivering You the Best: Legal Content You Should Not Miss
This conference promises to be a memorable one. Set in the progressive and fast-growing city of Seattle, attendees will enjoy learning the latest developments in technology law from the world’s top practitioners. We will cover critical areas of law affecting your practice, including the following:
- Data Protection/Privacy - The aftermath of a security breach: Beyond notice - steps to take when security is breached and sensitive data disclosed.
- E-Commerce - Mobile payments and mobile banking. A panel discussion with participation from carriers, banks, retailer and consumer groups.
- Outsourcing - The Impact of global economic turmoil in financial markets on ICT projects and contracts.
- Intellectual Property - A look at the application of intellectual property laws in virtual worlds and video games, and an update on the most recent case decisions in the U.S. and around the world.
- And much more
The Power of Networking: Your Key to Success
Now more than ever, effective networking is crucial for growing your practice and succeeding in a competitive marketplace. Attending the ITechLaw annual conference opens the door for you to gain valuable face time with the world’s key players in the field of technology law. But don’t just take my word for it - consider our track record. Last year our program in Las Vegas drew close to 200 participants from 25 countries worldwide, and provided a round-the-clock forum for conferring with legal colleagues. Attendees were able to meet tech lawyers in a wide variety of practice specialties, not only sharing knowledge but also building useful contacts.
Building powerful relationships is what ITechLaw is all about, and the Seattle 2009 conference will be no different. Don’t miss the chance to network with your international colleagues in this dynamic hub of IT business.
And don’t forget - Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credit will be offered for many states!
To make the most of your time, the ITechLaw 2009 Annual Meeting and World Conference immediately precedes the International Trademark Association’s 131st Annual Meeting, taking place in Seattle on May 16-20, 2009. We expect many will attend both events.
Topping off your ITechLaw conference experience, the Gala Reception and Dinner promises to be a delightful evening at Seattle’s Museum of Flight, the largest aviation museum on the West Coast. Enjoy our black-tie-optional dinner and conversation with your international colleagues and fellow ITechLaw members among the Museum’s impressive collection of air and space artifacts, from the first jet Air Force One, delivered to President Eisenhower in 1959, to the last Concorde ever to make a commercial flight.
See you in Seattle for this informative and exciting event!
With my very best regards,
John M. Carson
President, International Technology Law Association
