“Heavy Data Ahead: Navigating the Uncertain Privacy, Security and AI Waters Under a Stormy FTC. Is Your Ship Safe?“

The FTC has long been the principal navigator of U.S. data regulation, and the waters have rarely been rougher, with cybersecurity, deceptive data practices, children’s and health privacy, data brokers, and AI all on the map. Recent developments, including the amended COPPA Rule, health and location data enforcement, and evolving questions around AI, continue to shape where the Commission may sail next. Hear from lawyers who work these currents daily on enforcement, consent order assessments, and policy directives, and learn how to make sure your data ship is ready.

Roshni Patel and Alex Cox | Wednesday, November 4, 2026 | 8:50 a.m. – 9:50 a.m.

“Show Me the Money: Privacy, Security and AI in Financial Services“

Financial institutions are facing mounting complexity on three fronts at once: cybersecurity, privacy, and AI, as NYDFS sharpens its expectations around cybersecurity risk assessments, state privacy requirements continue to fragment, and regulators increase their focus on AI-related risks. For institutions operating nationally, these developments are creating new challenges for cybersecurity programs, privacy compliance, and AI governance. Join our panel of practitioners and industry leaders for a candid discussion of what’s actually changing on the ground and how to build programs that can withstand examinations and regulatory scrutiny.
