Game Time: An In-House Look at the Evolution of NIL Advising
In the rapidly evolving landscape of regulation in athletics, in-house counsel plays a critical role in advising athletes on Name, Image, and Likeness (“NIL”) matters. This has led directly to significant transformations within athletic departments. This panel will explore the challenges and opportunities of this shift in contract negotiations, athlete-revenue management, licensing and sponsorship agreements, and the operational adjustments required to thrive in this new landscape, moderated by Aaron Hernandez, Executive Director of the Allan Bud Selig Sports Law and Business Program at the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law with Debbie Spander, Founder of Insight Sports Advisors; Ed Stewart, Executive Senior Associate Athletic Director of the University of Southern California; Conner Schenk, Founder and NIL Consultant of Knights Table Collective; and Thomas Speiss, Partner at Snell & Wilmer.

Chat GPT Goes to Washington: The Future of AI Regulations in Congress, Copyright Office and the USPTO
Last year, the Copyright Office issued proposed regulations for the legal standards of copyright registration where AI was employed by the human author. Numerous court cases followed, and the Copyright Office’s stance seems to have become embodied in case law. Then the Copyright Office this past July issued a report to Congress warning about the increasing and deceptive use of deepfakes and the urgent need for legislation. Meanwhile, the USPTO issued its own set of proposed regulations, which have undergone their own saga of scrutiny and comment. This expert panel of agency and Government Affairs representatives from the private sector debate the growing call for more AI regulation. Moderated by Konrad Trope, Trope Law Group, P.C., with Jeff Martin, Office of Policy and International Affairs, USPTO, with Andrew Foglia, Deputy Director of Policy and International Affairs for the U.S. Copyright Office; Jenni Katzman, Esq., Senior Director of Government Affairs at Microsoft; Linda Quigley, Senior Copyright Advisor for the Office of Policy and International Affairs at the USPTO; and Joshua Simmons, a long-seasoned IP litigator with Kirkland & Ellis’s New York Office.

The Next Level: Video Game Developer and Designers’ New Legal Fight
In a rapidly evolving gaming landscape, developers and designers are battling not only to captivate players but also to navigate the complex terrain of cultural relevance without stepping into legal pitfalls. This panel will explore the difficulties of integrating cultural relevance with video games as seen in many recent cases, moderated by Prof. Tyson Winarski, Intellectual Property professor at the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at ASU; Dan Gibson, Partner, Knobbe Martens; with David Hecht, partner at Hecht Partners; Heidi Keefe, partner at Cooley; and Bobby Ghajar, partner at Cooley.

Crash Course: Navigating the CrowdStrike Update
Over the summer, CrowdStrike deployed an update that caused millions of computers to crash, resulting in disruptions for airlines, emergency services, TV networks, and other businesses across the world. Our panel of experts will discuss what happened, what the legal and practical ramifications could be, and what the software security industry and customers can do to better protect themselves in the future. Join Moderator Spencer Persson, partner at Davis Wright Tremaine; Scott Ferber, partner at Raj Ferber, PLLC and former Counsel for Cyber Investigations in DOJ’s National Security Division; Wynter Deagle, partner at Sheppard Mullin; and Mark Ray, PWC’s Managing Director, Head of Digital Investigations & Cyber Defense and former Special Agent of the FBI’s Cyber division as they discuss one of the largest and most expensive software outages ever to have occurred.

Fallout: One year after Strike-A-Geddon
The future of Hollywood AI after the WGA & SAG-AFTRA strikes
It’s been over a year since the SAG and WGA since new tentative collective bargaining agreements were reached with each union. Both labor disputes centered primarily around the ever-increasing use of AI by studios and platforms. Is Hollywood any better off or worse off? Are there more employment opportunities for actors and writers or is the feared industry exodus coming true? How does Scarlett Johanssen’s dispute with ChatGPT impact the current landscape? Does Bette Midler’s 1988 Federal court victory over Ford Motor Company protecting her voice and likeness have any vitality in this debate? Join us for a lively panel discussion with Nedeen Nasser of Nasser Legal as she moderates a wide spectrum of industry professionals including Craig Wagner, General Counsel and Executive Vice-President for Business Affairs at Paradigm Talent Agency; Nick Huskins, Senior Corporate Counsel for IP at Amazon Studios, Marc Bruder, President and CEO of Bruder Releasing, Inc., and Tracey Freed of Freed Law, P.C.
