Last year, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) was passed and went into effect on January 1, 2020. Both laws have brought unprecedented changes to businesses. CCPA is the first of what is likely to be a coming wave of US consumer data privacy regulations at the state and potentially federal level.

11:00am- 11:15am: Break 11:15am – 12:15pm “AB 5 and Disruption in the GIG Economy: Employees vs. Contractors” Moderator: Brooks Raiford, CEO, North Carolina Technology Association Panelists: Christina Fisher, Executive Director, Massachusetts and the Northeast, TechNet Glenn Spencer, Senior Vice President, Employment Policy Division, U.S. Chamber of Commerce Bruce Sarchet, Shareholder, Littler Background: In 2019, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law AB 5, defining whether workers should be classified as independent workers or employees. The legislation was ostensibly enacted to codify the California Supreme Court’s Dynamex decision and will have a substantial impact on the tech sector. AB 5 chooses winners and losers the legislature deems worthy of an exemption. The panel will address the potential impact of AB 5, continuing efforts to modify it and the impact it is having on similar legislation in other states and regions. 12:15pm: Lunch 1:00pm – 2:00pm “Creating a Secure and Resilient Public Infrastructure” Moderator: Marc French, CISO and Managing Director, Product Security Group Panelists: Stephanie Helm, Director, MassCyberCenter at MassTech Benjamin Gilbert, Cybersecurity Advisor – Region III, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Mark Houpt, Chief Information Security Officer, DataBank Background: With the proliferation of gathering, storing, and using data organizations and agencies in both the public and private sector technology is paramount. Conversely, the growing sophistication of bad actors is outpacing what can be done to fully prevent an attack and many of their business models are to target organizations with public missions that likely have insurance or Rainy-Day Funds, which will be used to get online quickly. Our panel of experts will discuss what factors help or hinder resiliency and what challenges are in play for public sector.
