Please mark your calendars for the ANA’s 2009 Advertising Law and Business Affairs Conference on March 10-11, 2009 at The Grand Hyatt New York @ Grand Central Station.

The theme of this year’s conference, as with this year’s Presidential election, is “change.” We’re putting together the most dynamic and exciting agenda for this conference to date. We have already confirmed the participation of former FTC Chairman Deborah Platt Majoras, who will be speaking on the future of FTC regulation, as well as other important past FTC and FCC officials, including: former FCC chief counsel Bob Corn-Revere, former director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection Bill MacLeod and former deputy director of the Bureau of Consumer Protection Lee Peeler. In addition, many top legal experts from key advertisers and outside law firms will be covering cutting edge issues facing the ad community.

You can view the confirmed sessions, as well as register for the conference, at ana.net.

We’re sure this will once again be the premiere conference for advertising law and business affairs professionals and encourage you to sign up now.
