Please join us on Wednesday, May 14, for Steptoe's Sixth Annual Regulatory Symposium. Once again, we will gather current and former thought leaders, and industry stakeholders to discuss the most pressing issues facing companies in regulated industries.
The opening keynote panel, moderated by Steptoe's Pantelis Michalopoulos, will be followed by two concurrent breakout sessions on topics related to the overall theme. During breakout session one we will offer: "Antitrust and the First Amendment" and "AI: New Rules or No Rules?" During breakout session two we will offer: "Tax Regulatory Trends and Legislative Insights" and "A Fireside Chat with FERC Commissioner David Rosner." The program will conclude with a cocktail reception.
