Breakout Session I (please choose one of the following to attend):

A.     A NEW THREAT TO ADVERTISING
Buried in The Obama Administration's push for a new federal agency to oversee banks and consumer protection is a broad new grant of authority over advertising to the Federal Trade Commission.  It would throw out the rulemaking safeguards that are in the law and permit the FTC to issue rules with less process or judicial review. For those who remember the "Kidvid" rule of the late 1970s, this proposal conjures disturbing memories. Learn from one of the leading attorneys in the field what's likely to happen and how the advertising industry would have to deal with an FTC on steroids.

B.     PROTECTING YOUR PROMOTIONS
In this session, we'll cover developments in IP and promotion laws so that next time someone tells you that you've won $1 million dollars, you'll know if they're telling you the truth, assuming you don't faint!

A.     MOBILE MEDIA MARKETING
The cell phone as you once knew it is a thing of the past.  Today, our handheld devices are our prime connection to the world - our communication device, database, calendar, personal shopper, GPS...you name it.  Mobile has matured into a media platform all its own that is poised to overtake every other media format, including television.  Our experts will look into the future and ring up what's to come and how it will pose risks and rewards to corporations in the new decade.

B.     SELLING THE FAMOUS AND NOT-SO-FAMOUS:  RIGHTS OF PRIVACY & PUBLICITY
Celebrities are all over the news, for good and for bad.  Even President Obama's image has been utilized to sell sportswear in Times Square.  On new media, viral marketing uses images of people and places like never before.  How will the law keep up as personal rights of privacy and publicity are seemingly ignored with impunity?  This session will lead the way.

B.     PROCURING THE BEST AGREEMENT
Procurement. Say the word in any room where you find advertising agency executives and you are likely to hear a very loud groan. Say it in the offices of in-house counsel at advertisers, and you may well hear a sigh of relief as the lawyers get help dealing with complicated changes to the way advertisers now approach their relationship with advertising agencies. This session will call back to the stage many of the conference presenters to "fight it out" in a free wheeling discussion of the key issues in advertiser/agency contracts being debated today.

B.     SAG/AFTRA DEVELOPMENTS
Hollywood is finally grasping the reality of ROI for advertisers in an unprecedented agreement with the industry that may turn conventional methods of paying actors in commercials on its head.  Imagine actors being paid on the basis of GRP's -- the same currency used to measure the billions of dollars spent every year on media.  It may happen - hear when change can be expected.

Breakout Session V (please choose one of the following to attend):

A.     THE FCC IN THE DIGITAL AGE
The Federal Communications Commission has been reenergized with new commissioners ready to tackle some complicated and controversial issues for advertisers, most notably product placement, children's advertising, indecency, and violence.  As media monitors the new FCC with concern, it's critical that advertisers and marketers know how media channels and behavior will change and when the industry needs to make its own changes to stay on air.
