It’s 2023 and you can’t blink without reading about AI. No workplace is getting by without it, be it for optimization of hiring, promotion, improving productivity, gaging productivity and more.
In 2023 employees have privacy rights in California and NYC and they are spreading throughout New York State as well.
In this interactive session we will discuss: - New and upcoming uses of AI in the workplace - The AI regulatory landscape in the US - The NYC AEDT Bias law (Local law 144) - The NYS bills on employee surveillance - How the new privacy laws affect your use of AI and the California CPRA AI draft regulations - What are things you need to do now
Participants will receive (1) NY CLE credit in Cybersecurity, Privacy and Data Protection – General (suitable for transitional and non-transitional attorneys).
While women continue to gain ground in the boardroom, the global average of women on boards still remains less than 33%. Join the ACC Georgia Women's Initiative for an afternoon of panel and smaller group discussions geared towards practical steps to help move the needle towards gender parity on boards — and specifically, how women attorneys can get on boards and add value. We will address topics such as how women on boards can make the most of their board memberships, and key issues that women on boards should be aware of.
The program will be followed by a reception at the Peachtree Club.

The in-house counsel fulfills a unique role in the business and legal function of an organization. While the attorney-client privilege might attach when counsel is wearing their “lawyer” hat, it might not easily apply when non-legal and business tasks are being pursued. Then, while the copy button on an email might seem convenient and helpful to keep a broader team in the loop, it could also create detrimental impacts on the privilege. This session will focus on every day and practical applications of privilege in the corporate environment, including a refresher on the privilege, how to maintain confidentiality, its waiver, and other important related topics paired with plenty of real life examples.
