Marlyand Mixer: Privacy Panel & Reception

Join us for our first Maryland Mixer hosted by our NEW Maryland Advisory Committee.  We seek to engage our ACC NCR members that live or work in Maryland and offer engaging content, networking opportunities, and deeper connections within the Maryland in-house community.  Please join us for a substantive panel discussion, followed by a reception.

Maryland recently amended its data breach notification law, Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), to include a revised “reasonable security” requirement, shorter notification timelines, expanded definition of personal information, and content requirements for notifications to the Maryland AG’s office. Walking through an incident response matter, our panel will discuss the changes to the law, how Maryland’s law compares to others (and the application of other laws to Maryland businesses). We will address practical implications of the changes, and how an organization might adjust its incident response plan to meet these requirements. 

Featured Panelists

Debra Bang, Chief Legal Officer & Corporate Secretary, The Emmes Company, LLC

Caitlin Smith, Associate, Polsinelli

Tony Torain, Shareholder, Polsinelli

Panel discussion will run from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM with reception to follow from 5:30 to 7:00 PM.
