The program will open with a networking lunch and a fireside chat featuring Laura Clinton, Consumer Protection Division Chief, Washington State Attorney General’s Office, whose office has been at the forefront of consumer protection enforcement in the region, reflecting the increasingly important role state attorneys general are playing alongside federal regulators.

The forum will then feature panel discussions that address the legal and business challenges shaping the consumer products, retail, and technology sectors, including:
