Minnesota Journal of Law, Science & Technology Symposium: The Evolving Landscape of Data Privacy and Cybersecurity Law
The Minnesota Journal of Law, Science & Technology formally invites the Minnesota Law community to a discussion on recent changes in U.S. and international privacy and cybersecurity law.
Across four panels and a keynote address, panelists will open each session with brief individual remarks, followed by a moderated roundtable discussion and audience Q&A. Speakers will share research, practical experience, and insights into how law is responding to rapid technological change. We hope you will join us for a full day of conversation and connection.
