Launching the New Smart Product – Data Extraction, Cross Linking IoT and the Explosion of Laws and Technologies
Monday, November 15 | 2:15 - 3:00 p.m.
In a world where consumers now interact with smart devices – at home, at work, and everywhere in between – the necessity to collect and use data responsibly goes far beyond legal compliance. Today and tomorrow, brands, publishers, agencies, and the ad tech community must incorporate data ethics, mitigate bias, convey value, and bolster trust – all concurrently – within and across all of the data interaction points that are crucial to authenticating and cultivating customer value and identity. Consumers will have it no other way. Beyond legal compliance, how do we protect this dynamic, innovative, data-driven ecosystem and protect a full “benefits on” approach?
Loyalty Programs
Tuesday, November 16 | 4:20 - 5:05 p.m.
Loyalty programs have been around for decades, but their widespread popularity and the migration to digital marketing have meant increased complexity from a legal perspective. Join us as we discuss the laws that regulate loyalty programs, including consumer protection, sweepstakes, auctions, commercial coventures, privacy, franchise, antitrust, and even civil rights, as well as recent litigation and enforcement involving these popular and effective promotional programs. Throughout the program, we’ll highlight the risks to watch out for in designing such programs and suggest practical ways to address the legal traps in creation and implementation.
Where Is the FTC Headed Under Chair Kahn and After the Supreme Court Decision on FTC Act 13(B)?
Wednesday, November 17 | 11:15 a.m. - 12:05 p.m.
Len Gordon, Howard Beales, David Vladeck
In this session, former FTC Bureau Directors, David Valdeck and Howard Beales will join Venable’s own former FTC Regional Director, Len Gordon, to discuss what to expect from the Commission in light of a new Chair, the Supreme Court’s ruling in AMG, recent rulemakings, and other activity at the agency. The panel will dive into what the future may hold at the FTC, provide observations on the course the agency is taking in light of the many changes, and thoughts on how companies may navigate this new era at the Commission.
