Agenda
All sessions are conducted in English, and this page will be updated as speakers are confirmed. The agenda is planned by the local planning committee with input from both in-house and private practice lawyers with knowledge of current events and initiatives in the area.
Accreditation has be requested for the 2017 World Technology Law Conference from many states with general mandatory continuing legal education requirements for all lawyers admitted in that state, including AZ, CA, CO, CT, FL, GA, IL, IN, KS, LA, MO, NC, NH, NJ, NV, NY, OH, PA, VA, UT, WA, and WI. Additional states may be applied for upon request of an attendee. This course is expected to qualify for 7 CLE credit hours (including 1.5 ethics hours) in 60-minute states, and 8.6 credit hours (including 1.8 ethics hours) in 50-minute states. This transitional program is approved for both newly admitted and experienced attorneys in NY. Attorneys may be eligible to receive CLE credit through reciprocity or attorney self-submission in states from which direct accreditation has not been sought.
