NATIONAL "SPAM AND THE LAW" CONFERENCE

"Spam and the Law: Law, Case Law, and Legislation"

January 22, 2004, San Francisco
Westin Hotel at SFO

"With the passage of the new Federal Anti-Spam Law now, more than ever, you need to attend this conference!"

Do you know your rights and obligations as a receiver of email?

United States law, case law, and legislation regarding spam is nothing if not a confusing hodge-podge of frequently incomprehensible, often ineffectual attempts at achieving balance between senders and receivers of email. The attorneys themselves often can't make heads nor tails of all of the different state laws and case law operating in tension with each other, let alone the average business person on whom they operate.

This must-attend conference is for anybody involved in the email sending or email receiving industries, including email service bureaus, email service providers, ISPs, and online marketing agencies. Attorneys who attend are eligible to receive seven California MCLE credits.

ISIPP would like to thank the following sponsors for helping to make this conference possible:

Featured Speakers include:
