TENTATIVE AGENDA (continued)
TUESDAY, MARCH 14
07:30 AM – 11:30 AM Registration
07:30 AM – 08:15 AM Continental Breakfast
8:15 AM – 9:15 AM ULC & Alcohol Delivery
The Uniform Law Commission (ULC) entered the political fray of direct-to-consumer shipping in January 2020. Over the next two
years, the Commission’s scope shifted significantly--eventually focusing on fulfillment house licensing and direct wine shipping
despite the long-standing lobbying efforts of various groups. Furthermore, many state legislatures have debated the policy for
years and created a patchwork of laws pursuant to their express authority under the 21st Amendment. In this session, regulators
and legislative experts will discuss the legal considerations at the forefront of the current alcohol delivery conversation while
debating the impact of the ULC’s activities.
09:15 AM – 09:30 AM Break
9:30 AM – 10:30 AM Metaverse, NFTs, & Crypto Revisited
Despite the 2022 implosion in cryptocurrencies and NFTs, many companies continue investing in technologies they see as viable
in the next generation of the Internet. However, investing in these emerging spaces does not come without risk. Trade practice
and fairness considerations are inherent in conversations involving product placement in digital “real estate.” Beneficial ownership
and flow of funds considerations are equally intertwined with NFTs and digital wallets. While the names and access points may
have changed, the foundational legal principles and variables remain. In this session, technological, financial, and legal experts
will discuss the legal grey spaces that present compliance difficulties for this evolving market
09:15 AM – 09:30 AM Break
10:45 AM – 11:45 AM How to Go Green Without Going to Court
Given the popularity of ESG and consumer demand regarding sustainability, many corporations have leaned-into highlighting
their conscientiousness on these fronts. While well-intended, these claims can present significant legal risk due to various
consumer protection statutes. They can also present potentially catastrophic risk if complaints are successfully brought as a class
action. And when coupled with health claims, the likelihood of such action can increase significantly. In this session, attorneys
will discuss how to legally traverse health and environmental marketing claims without creating excessive legal risk.
