Mark Twain once quipped that a lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting its boots on. In a similar vein, technology has driven changes in transportation and logistics at such a rapid pace that the law is often belatedly adapting. The Playing Catch-Up: The Intersection of Technology and Law panel will address and offer practical solutions to a range of such issues, including proper treatment of touchless deliveries, electronic bills of lading, “app” liability, implications of track and trace, contracts with extensive technology components, “big data” impacts on casualty litigation, data privacy dilemmas, and more.

Our room block has been extended to Friday, October 8. Register now!
