On Friday, March 16 guest speaker Ted Claypoole, partner at Womble Bond Dickinson LLP law firm in Atlanta, will present information about GDPR -- General Data Protection Regulations that go into effect May 25 and impact U.S. customer data.

U.S./EU fights over new customer privacy regulations (General Data Protection Regulation, or “GDPR”) will headline a multi-front culture war between openness and control, individual rights and state power, and individual rights and corporate power. Although borne out of Europe, the global players impacted by this fight include Russia, China, ICANN and the U.S. Federal Communications Commission, and Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google and Microsoft.
