Thank You to our Avvocating Conference Sponsors
As the Avvocating Conference kicks off tomorrow, we’d like to extend a big THANK YOU to our sponsors – Perkins Coie and Savitt Bruce & Willey.
In addition to their support, both firms will be speaking at the event.
On Friday, January 22 at 10:00AM, Susan Lyon of Perkins Coie will be presenting on “The Balance of Privacy and Social Networking”.
Susan is Of Counsel with Perkins Coie’s Privacy & Security practice, and Educational Advisory Board Member of the International Association of Privacy Professionals. Susan advises a broad range of companies and organizations on U.S. and international privacy, data security and online safety issues, including issues relating to social networking services.
Prior to joining Perkins, Susan gained practical experience as in-house privacy counsel for Microsoft and Dell. Susan tweets from the Bainbridge Island ferries (@susanlyon), links-in from her offices in Seattle and D.C. and posts privacy updates to Facebook from anywhere and everywhere.
At the conference, Susan will discuss the latest privacy issues relating to social networking that all lawyers must know about. Attendees will learn some basic guidelines for engaging online while also protecting your information, your practice and yourself.
On Thursday, January 21 at 3:00PM, Steve Willey of Savitt Bruce & Willey LLP will be moderating the Social Media Panel.
As a partner in the firm, Steve’s practice focuses on complex commercial litigation, with an emphasis on intellectual property matters. Steve is engaged by social media but has not yet committed himself to challenging Ashton Kutcher’s Twitter crown.
Steve will lead the panel discussion, consisting of Kathy Gill, Maz Sharafi and Doug Mandell, that will explore the latest trends in social media marketing, the issues lawyers face and what they see as the ‘next big thing’ for the legal industry.
