As the world shrinks and digital takes control, effective advertising lawyers are not just building the bridge between creative freedom and consumer protection, they have increasingly become embedded in the marketing process, from beginning to end. Lawyers are now partners to CMOs, brand managers, and creative directors. That’s not an easy position. However, armed with the right knowledge, today’s marketing lawyer is a valued member of the team. This conference, now in its 13th year, will show senior practitioners and C-suite executives how to join hands to facilitate the creation of effective, successful marketing campaigns using all available tools.
Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credit will be offered.
The hashtag for this event is #ANAAdLaw.
Access Now is proud to bring you the sixth installment of RightsCon, the world’s leading event on the future of the internet. Together we are shaping the global conversation about how to keep the internet open, free, and secure.
At RightsCon Silicon Valley 2016, we brought together more than 1,100 attendees from 84 countries and more than 500 organizations. This upcoming Spring 2017 in Brussels, Belgium we’re gathering the global digital rights community in the heart of European politics and policymaking to host our most impactful RightsCon yet.
Together at RightsCon Brussels 2017, we’ll tackle the most pressing issues at the intersection of technology and human rights. If you have an idea for something you’d like to see happening there, tell us about it!
| This course will enable you to understand the concepts of security, risk and privacy compliance, as they apply to the various cloud computing environments. It provides you with a structured guide on how to successfully move data into a cloud service provider while gaining assurance that security of that data will not be compromised, privacy rules will be complied with and cloud service agreements will be fit for the purposes.

This symposium will explore the legal and ethical implications of big data discrimination and algorithmic-derived discrimination. Recent reports have indicated that big data tools and algorithmic-driven decision making protocols can be used to isolate, analyze, and discriminate against individuals based on race, gender, religion, voting habits, residency, consumer behaviors, health status, and other data characteristics. This Symposium aims to deepen the conversation on the impact of the growth of algorithmic-centered power in the private and public sectors.

Please join us at a poster session celebrating the final projects of
the IPSI course “Seminar in Identity, Privacy and Security”. This
year’s final projects cover a wide range of topics on current
practices and emerging applications within the cyber physical and
social system, which include privacy and security issues related to
the smart grid, health informatics and cloud computing. Students will
provide an in-depth discussion on potential solutions for the issues,
such as policy changes and technical implementations. Refreshments
will be served.
We Robot fosters conversations between the people designing, building, and deploying robots and the people who design or influence the legal and social structures in which robots will operate.
This conference will build on a growing body of scholarship exploring how the increasing sophistication and autonomous decision-making capabilities of robots and their widespread deployment everywhere from the home, to hospitals, to public spaces, to the battlefield disrupts existing legal regimes or requires rethinking policy issues. We are particularly interested this year in “solutions,” i.e., projects with a normative or practical thesis aimed at helping to resolve questions around contemporary and anticipated robotic applications.
picoCTF – a free, online computer security competition for students grades 6-12 – is coming March 31, 2017! The game is designed for total beginners *and* experts alike, and over 30,000 people have already played. Students can pre-register today on our website (https://picoctf.com/). Please take a moment to watch our orientation video (https://picoctf.com/about).
Overview
picoCTF is a computer security competition open to students grades 6-12. The competition is a series of challenges where students must reverse engineer, break, hack, decrypt, or do whatever it takes to solve the problem. The competition is open from March 31st to April 14th, 2017. Everything is exclusively on the Internet and completely free. Registration will not close until the end of the competition, and there is no penalty for registering later.
Eligibility
Anyone can play, but only eligible individuals will be able to win and receive prizes. An individual is eligible if they are attending a school in the United States and are a 6th to 12th grade student.
Prizes
We have received over $30,000 for prizes this year! Specific amounts cannot be announced at this time as we are finalizing funding with our sponsors.
Competing
Once the competition begins, participants will be able to log into picoctf.com using the username and password provided at registration. If participants have forgotten their username or password, a reset function will be available once competition opens.
Organization
To accommodate the diverse backgrounds participating in picoCTF, the competition is organized into four levels each significantly more difficult than the last. Level 1 is targeted at students with no programming experience but apt at using a computer. Level 2 is for students with introductory programming experience, perhaps in languages such as Visual Basic or Alice. Level 3 targets AP Computer Science students with a stronger background in programming. Level 4 features a diverse set of problems ranging from difficult to mind-bogglingly difficult.
Levels
A team need not solve every challenge in a level before unlocking the next level. The problems in each level have been designed such that a new level can be unlocked even while avoiding entire categories (e.g. cryptography).
Playing the Game
Similar to the preview, competition challenges will be presented in the context of a story-driven game. The *game* requires a modern web browser and a reasonably powerful computer to play. Each challenge is worth a fixed number of points. A competitor earns the respective number of points regardless of the progress of other teams. Scores are calculated independent of time, but time will be used as a tie breaker.
Hints and Lectures
Some problems have associated hints. Hints can contain text, links, and even entire video lectures relevant to solving the problem.
Restrictions
While there are no limitations on the resources or tools that you can use, only students can solve challenges. Others can only facilitate in solving problems (e.g. helping setup tools and providing resources). Additionally, competitors may not interfere with the progress of other competitors or the competition infrastructure. Breaking any of these rules will result in disqualification and notification of the affiliated school.
Sponsors
We would like to thank our diamond sponsor, Cognizant, for helping make picoCTF possible.

HoTSoS is a research event centered on the Science of Security, which aims to address the fundamental problems of security in a principled manner.
The 2017 HoTSoS event, scheduled for April 4-5, 2017 in Hanover, Maryland, will bring together researchers from diverse disciplines to promote advancement of work related to the science of security. The conference will feature a mix of invited talks, panels, tutorials, and refereed papers to be published by ACM.
The Science of Security (SoS) emphasizes the advancement of research methods as well as the development of new research results. This dual focus is intended to improve both the confidence we gain from scientific results and also the capacity and efficiency through which we address increasingly technical problems.
U.S. technology companies are global leaders in providing cloud computing services for users around the world. This innovation is a critical underpinning of the 21st Century U.S. economy and job growth. However, technology companies are increasingly threatened by the current legal framework that lacks clarity about the application of various national laws, creating conflicting requirements for cloud service providers to turn over customers’ data.
At the same time, law enforcement efforts in the U.S. and around the world are increasingly frustrated by difficulties in accessing data located across borders. At the heart of this problem, outdated laws establish barriers in accessing data based on the location of where it happens to be. Meanwhile, the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) system and other data sharing agreements no longer provide for efficient access to critical data stored across national boundaries.
The current system is bad for both U.S. economic growth and law enforcement.
Join us for a discussion, along with remarks by Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT), about what’s wrong with the current system, and how Congress needs to act to update the legal framework to help U.S. companies better compete across national borders and facilitate law enforcement access to data that is needed for critical investigations.
Refreshments will be served.
Featuring Remarks by Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT)
Panel Speakers:
- Jen Daskal:Associate Professor of Law, American University Washington College of Law (WCL)
- David Lieber:Senior Privacy Policy Counsel, Google
- Greg Nojeim, Director, Freedom, Security & Technology Project,Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT)
- David LeDuc: Senior Director of Public Policy, SIIA(Moderator)

The National Privacy & Data Governance Congress takes a refreshingly practical approach to explore leading issues at the crossroads of privacy, security, law and technology. Speakers focus on practical solutions and examples, and real-life case studies — rather than relying on theoretical models, or reciting statistical and performance data that’s publicly available elsewhere. Breakouts and plenary sessions are longer than at most conferences, and formal presentations are shorter — and that gives you time to ask questions and get real, unscripted answers. The Congress is much more than plenary sessions and workshops. It is a meeting place where delegates and speakers have the chance to reconnect with colleagues from public and private institutions, federal, provincial and territorial governments, industry, academia and regulatory authorities — to make new connections, share ideas, and enhance individual skills. Network with privacy, security, compliance and data governance professionals from industry and government. Enjoy workshop, breakout, keynote and plenary sessions. And get a clearer view of how privacy, security, law and technology intersect and why that matters to you and your organization. You will receive solid content and be spared from listening to vendor pitches. After all, you’re attending to learn, and we don’t think there’s good value in thinly-veiled sales pitches. But we do think that delegates and speakers who attend the Congress should be able to attend the entire Congress. That’s why all workshops, meals, plenary and breakout sessions are included in the conference registration fee. Read More at www.pacc-ccap.ca/congress.
