Economic globalization is undergoing a restructuring , including the social/labour front. The rising concern against the use of forced and child labour is impacting Canadian businesses.Canadian corporations have witnessed a series of developments— on the legislative, judicial and regulatory front — that have a legal impact as well as in terms of reputation and brand. 

In this ACC session, we will discuss the key elements of the Canadian modern slavery legislation coming into effect on January 1 , 2024 and the flurry of activity from the Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise (CORE). Our comments will incorporate the American experience.

These developments are not the final destination in the social repair of globalization. It is anticipated that the journey from “soft” (voluntary) to "hard“ (mandatory) law will include additional milestones further impacting corporations and their human rights footprint. 

Please join us for a timely and informative session on the now critical subject of Business and Human Rights (BHR)

AGENDA

1:00 - 1:50 p.m. CLE Session 1 - Responsible AI and Why It Matters
Artificial intelligence (AI) technology is moving faster than the law, but regulation is just around the corner and organizations should prepare by building a Responsible AI Framework. This panel will offer practical tips for AI governance, including adapting existing frameworks, tracking forthcoming US and international regulation, bringing various business teams and functions to the table, building a model inventory, and selecting the principles to be the foundation for internal policies and procedures. Attendees will walk away with an understanding of how other organizations have been tackling AI governance and key things to look out for in the AI legal landscape.
Speaker: Camila Tobón | Partner | Shook Hardy and Bacon 

1:50 - 2:00 p.m. Break

2:00 - 2:50 p.m. CLE Session 2 - Be Aware: Your AI Has Implicit Bias, Too 
Companies and law firms are looking for ways to commit to meaningful change in the areas of equity, diversity, and inclusivity. For those efforts to be successful, it is critical to better understand the ways in which implicit bias manifests itself in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). As more and more companies integrate AI in their products, services, and processes, the need for fairness and non-discrimination in AI-based decision-making becomes increasingly important. This panel will offer practical strategies on how companies can detect and mitigate ethical risks rooted in implicit bias as they leverage AI to improve productivity and performance. 
Speakers:  Caroline Gieser | Associate | Shook Hardy & Bacon and Yara Rashad | Associate | Shook Hardy & Bacon 

2:50 - 3:00 p.m. Break

3:00 - 3:50 p.m. CLE Session 3 - What’s on Your Website (And What May be Missing From Your Website) May Surprise You
The biggest data privacy litigation risk companies currently face is class action litigation based on the use of certain website advertising technology. This session will explain the underlying technology, the tsunami of litigation sweeping the country, and provide concrete steps companies can take to mitigate risk. 
Speaker: Rachel Straus | Partner | Shook Hardy & Bacon

AGENDA 

9:00 am Shotgun Start - Golfers at Memorial Golf Course
9:00 am - 4:00 pm - Spa Appointments at Trellis Spa at The Houstonian Hotel
4:00 pm - 6:00 pm - Ethics CLE Program at The Houstonian Hotel (Featuring Billy Newman)

The ACC Houston Chapter is proud to have Billy Newman as the 2023 Ethics Seminar speaker.


The Agenda for the 24th Annual Event will vary slightly from years past. With many upgrades for this 24th Annual event, we are thrilled to announce that our golfers will once again be able to enjoy Houston's premier PGA golf course, Memorial Golf Course.  This popular in-town muni sports fascinating green contours, modest but strategic bunkering, and acres of short-grass runoff around putting surfaces. The Original John Bredemus routing from 1936 has been tweaked some to make betters of the basically flat site, with lots of understory and trees removed to expose the ravines and make it spectator friendly for the PGA Tour's annual Houston Open. The work by architect Tom Doak was enhanced by consulting of 4-time major winner Brooks Koepka. Together, they have produced a golf course that tests everyday players and elite golfers alike.

Not to be outdone by golf, our spa attendees will see increased amenities and time at Trellis Spa at The Houstonian Hotel.  Trellis spa boasts as a Mediterranean style spa surrounding a courtyard that offers a beautiful, natural garden environment seen through large windows located throughout the spa.  In the newly renovated spa, our attendees will choose from massage, facial, manicure and pedicure treatments and we have added therapeutic treatments from The Covery by The Houstonian.  New treatments this year include Cryo-facial + Red Light Therapy, Infrared Sauna Therapy and Therabody Compression + Brain Tap. Also new this year, we are adding PICKLEBALL to the indoor racquet activities! As always, we will have tennis lessons with the pros at The Houstonian Club.  We will have yoga/pilates classes, as well. ACC Houston members will also have their choice of attending a floral design class sponsored by Kean Miller. 

This is our annual "Can't Miss Event"!  Plan to carve out time for the whole day for this event; you'll be glad you did!

Additional Information

  • In the event we have more registrants than spa or tee times, we will do a random drawing to determine who will attend. All others will be placed on a wait list and will be notified as space becomes available.

  • Once we have done the drawing, participants that were picked for golf or spa will be sent an email with instructions on signing up. All other members will be notified of their status on the wait list. 

  • A $25 spa cancellation fee will be assessed if the cancellation of your spa reservation is received after 12:00 pm (noon) on Monday, February 29. You may avoid this spa cancellation fee if you designate a replacement prior to that time. Should any spa participant not show for her/his scheduled appointments, a $25 fee will be assessed to the "no-show" participant.
