THE CLOUD AND BIG DATA 2014
THE LAW AND BUSINESS OF THE CLOUD AND BIG DATA TODAY

April 22 & 23, 2014
John Davis Conference Center in Seattle, WA

As the Cloud continues to mature for business and consumer applications, and “big data” increasingly raises commercial, privacy and security issues, we invite you to join us for a second annual deep dive into the implications of the Cloud and big data for the global legal system.

Join us to expand your knowledge on the business of data analytics and current legal issues in data collection, including the latest on pending lawsuits against the NSA and insurance options protecting against data risk. Learn about other pending Cloud contracting disputes involving the federal government and private parties. Expand your knowledge about developing legal structures to define and enforce the rights and liabilities of Cloud service providers, their partners, commercial clients and ordinary consumers. Explore current friction points in buying and selling Cloud services, and learn about developing law in the areas of interoperability, IP and open source software in the Cloud.

In each of these areas, our faculty of leading in-house lawyers, private lawyers, business leaders and academics with extensive experience in Cloud computing and big data will discuss the law and business of the Cloud and big data today, its current state and trends for the year ahead.
