APRA AND KOSA AND COPPA 2.0, OH MY (9:15 - 10:00 am)
This panel will break down all of the latest action on privacy on Capitol Hill – from the odds the children’s privacy bills make it out of Congress to the latest salvo in the fight for a federal privacy bill from Senator Maria Cantwell and Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, the American Privacy Rights Act. We’ll discuss the impact these potential game-changing bills would have on your company and how you use data to reach consumers of all ages if they make it through Congress.

THE POTENTIAL (AND PERIL) OF AI (10:15 - 11:00 am)
The use of AI is greatly increasing, transforming the way many organizations do business in the process. This panel will discuss how the advertising industry is responding to the exciting potential of genAI, including how marketers are incorporating it into their strategies, while balancing it with the potential risks, including Congressional or federal regulatory action.

Speakers TBD

A FIRESIDE CHAT WITH THE FTC (11:00 - 11:45 am)
The FTC recently set down its own marker on children’s privacy with its announced revisions to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection rule. What drove the FTC to make changes to the rule, how did it balance the need to protect children against access to online services, and how can the FTC work with self-regulatory bodies to promote responsible data practices? Hear from one of the attorneys at the FTC who worked on the rule.
