2021 Virtual Data Road Show

The 2021 Data Roadshow is a virtual half-day program wholly devoted to all things data with a focus on artificial intelligence and machine learning-enabled technology.  The program will include a keynote and a series of panel discussions that seek to address many of the data related challenges companies face on a day-to-day basis, followed by a networking event.  The keynote speaker is Thomas Beach, interim Chief Data Officer for the U.S. Department of Commerce.  The first panel will provide an overview of the current state of data rights and intellectual property protections from both a domestic and an international perspective.  It will also address privacy rights and other interests in datasets, as well as concerns expressed by the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence, among other issues.  Subsequent panels will cover the latest developments in data sharing and aggregation, and offer advice on data monetization and licensing. 

Leading attorneys from industry, private practice, and the public sector will provide insight and practice tips for navigating this evolving and exciting area of law.
