So we're going to talk about the cases and the trends and intersperse the presentation with panel discussions. And for the ...

So much has happened in this area of the law since we last met a year ago that I can say with quite some confidence that, if your company hasn't updated its social media policy or guidelines in the past year, they're probably out of date, just because so much has happened in this area.
