I view every speaking engagement as an opportunity to teach about how technology impacts life from a legal perspective. I enjoy helping people make sense of technological advances and arming them with knowledge to make educated choices about technology use. I frequently speak at seminars, conferences, and training sessions. A select list of my past and upcoming speaking engagements can be found here.
Popular Topics
I regularly present on a variety of topics related to Internet law, media law, and civil litigation. The topics I’m most frequently asked to speak about are:
- Social media in the workplace
- Social media discovery and evidence
- Technology use in legal practice
- Data security
- Defamation
- Privacy law
- First Amendment rights
If you’re interested in having me speak to your organization or at an event, feel free to contact me.
