Sarah Bruno of Arent Fox LLP hosts a breakfast seminar that will provide an overview of the data transfer issues between Europe and the United States, the EU Cookie law, as well as how these laws impact U.S. companies. Among the panelists confirmed for this event are:

• Frances Henderson, National Director of Privacy Initiatives at the Better Business Bureau
• Aaron Holbert, Director of Litigation and Legal Affairs at Discovery Communications
• Allen Brandt, Corporate Counsel, Chief Privacy Official at Graduate Management Admission Council®
• Dr. Fabian Niemann, Partner in IT and technology law at the international law firm Bird & Bird

If you are collecting or using data collected from residents of Europe, or if you are sharing data with a European company or subsidiary, you should find the time to join us for breakfast on May 9th. The panelists, who are privacy experts with global perspectives, will discuss the issues that face all international businesses, including the restrictions imposed by the EU Data Directive, the safe harbor exception, and the European national laws that may require notification and/or consent prior to the transfer of data to the United States. These challenges, as well as the EU Cookie law will be analyzed. The panelists will consider strategies for overcoming these issues, as well as relevant U.S. legislation and guidelines, such as the FTC Final Privacy Report and the recent White House proposal.

If you are in town on May 9th, please join us for what will likely be an informative discussion regarding a hot area of the law.
