Can a pipeline building program be intentional and impactful while “life-changing,” “touching,” and “empowering”? The answer is Yes. Come learn about how a new initiative, Finnegan IP Summit, changed the lives of fifteen talented and motivated African American and Black law students this summer over a multi-day immersion program in Washington, DC. Over hearty laughter and collective tears, the students shared why this program is “simply fabulous,” gave them a “true sense of belonging,” and was a “once in a lifetime opportunity.”

In partnership with Finnegan

Businesses regularly engage third parties to provide a variety of services, which can often mean entrusting business data to those parties.  This session will outline key privacy and security due diligence questions to ask vendors and will highlight necessary privacy and data security terms that should be incorporated into third-party agreements.
