Conversation Killers are things we say, how we say them, or the attitudes we bring into talks that can turn them sour. Many times, we do these things out of habit without thinking about how they affect our chats. It all comes down to making better choices with our words to keep conversations positive and flowing.

You need someone focused on the tech market, you need a strategy and roadmap for adoption and you need visibility to those technologies that can save you money. In this session we will workshop together helping attendees identify and secure existing key technologies that are ripe for modernization. Each attendee will leave with an IT & IS roadmap for their organization.

For so many organizations, their information technology (IT) and information security (IS) systems stay the same.  The adage, “If it isn’t broke…” is synonymous with IT spend.   The reality is that IT & IS are constantly evolving.  The technology adopted 5 years ago is archaic and costly compared to modern solutions.   But to know this, you need  someone focused on the tech market, you need a strategy and roadmap for adoption and you need visibility to those technologies that can save you money. In this session we will workshop together helping attendees identify and secure existing key technologies that are ripe for modernization. Each attendee will leave with an IT & IS roadmap for their organization.

 

 

 

Learning Objectives:

 

• Define key areas of modernization in information technology and information security.

 

• Clearly define those systems and outcomes possible with updating.

 

• Document how to secure key systems for regulatory and best practice.

 

• Identification of automation and orchestration possible with modern solutions.

 

• Review use cases where organizations haven’t taken advantage of modern IT and IS.

 

• Align modernization with key compliance requirements like GLBA Safeguards an PCI 4.0

Collaborative discussions to drive positive litigation outcomes for you and the ARM industry.
This is a members ONLY event. Please register every month as the Zoom link differs each time.
This 45-minute interactive forum has been created to give ARM-industry attorneys—both in-house counsel and litigation defense counsel—an opportunity to engage in professional, collaborative, peer-led discussions focused on recent litigation trends.

Sessions may cover new theories being tested by the plaintiff’s bar in demand letters; novel litigation claims; litigation defense strategies for handling frequent filers; favorable and unfavorable venues and judges; and other topics than optimize the defense of ARM-relevant claims for you and for the ARM industry as a whole.

Raise Your Game
As an attorney in the ARM industry, staying ahead of the curve is critical to your success. Legal strategies and trends are constantly changing, and it can be difficult to keep up. That's why ACA International created “At the Bar,” an exclusive monthly meeting for ARM-industry attorneys—including in-house counsel and litigation defense counsel—to discuss what's hot in the world of ARM-industry litigation.

When you attend At the Bar, you'll have the opportunity to:
  • Explore current ARM litigation trends in a manageable 30-minute roundtable discussion.
  • Exchange information about new claims and demands with other industry attorneys.
  • Brainstorm defense theories and briefing strategies in a collaborative peer environment.
  • Share your own experiences and insights with a knowledgeable and engaged community.
  • Advance your litigation strategy and hone your advocacy insights.
  • Network with other ARM-industry attorneys.

At the Bar will be held at 1pm on the second Friday, each month. ACA staff and members of ACA’s MAP Advisory Council will facilitate discussions of litigation issues relevant to the ARM industry. These sessions have been designed to be seminars, not lectures, meaning attendee participation will not only be welcome but strongly encouraged—so bring your questions and your thinking caps!

Collaborative discussions to drive positive litigation outcomes for you and the ARM industry.
This is a members ONLY event. Please register every month as the Zoom link differs each time.
This 45-minute interactive forum has been created to give ARM-industry attorneys—both in-house counsel and litigation defense counsel—an opportunity to engage in professional, collaborative, peer-led discussions focused on recent litigation trends.

Sessions may cover new theories being tested by the plaintiff’s bar in demand letters; novel litigation claims; litigation defense strategies for handling frequent filers; favorable and unfavorable venues and judges; and other topics than optimize the defense of ARM-relevant claims for you and for the ARM industry as a whole.

Raise Your Game
As an attorney in the ARM industry, staying ahead of the curve is critical to your success. Legal strategies and trends are constantly changing, and it can be difficult to keep up. That's why ACA International created “At the Bar,” an exclusive monthly meeting for ARM-industry attorneys—including in-house counsel and litigation defense counsel—to discuss what's hot in the world of ARM-industry litigation.

When you attend At the Bar, you'll have the opportunity to:
  • Explore current ARM litigation trends in a manageable 30-minute roundtable discussion.
  • Exchange information about new claims and demands with other industry attorneys.
  • Brainstorm defense theories and briefing strategies in a collaborative peer environment.
  • Share your own experiences and insights with a knowledgeable and engaged community.
  • Advance your litigation strategy and hone your advocacy insights.
  • Network with other ARM-industry attorneys.

At the Bar will be held at 1pm on the second Friday, each month. ACA staff and members of ACA’s MAP Advisory Council will facilitate discussions of litigation issues relevant to the ARM industry. These sessions have been designed to be seminars, not lectures, meaning attendee participation will not only be welcome but strongly encouraged—so bring your questions and your thinking caps!

ACA will bill all Fees to User’s credit card or other automatic payment option available and provided to ACA by User.

Members hereby acknowledge Member Content is the sole property of ACA and is included as ACA Content. Entity Members may authorize individual employee user access to Member Content, wherein each user identified in the ACA user roster will be assigned unique Registration Data. Entity Members are responsible for the conduct of their employees that use the Website and/or the Hub. Entity Member’s responsibility for employee conduct does not absolve the employee of their personal responsibility to comply with Terms of Use. Additions, deletions, and modifications to a Member’s information, and employee roster, must be made by the Member’s designated contact. Members are required to maintain an up-to-date and accurate roster. Rosters must timely reflect changes regarding inactive email addresses and Users who have separated from employment. Only those employees physically located at the approved Member geographical location may be provided access. In no event may any entity Member add a non-employee to its user roster, or otherwise allow non-employees access to Member Content through the Member’s Account. Hub use must comply with ACA’s Hub Terms of Access as they may be amended from time to time, which is incorporated herein by reference. If the Member learns a User identified in the Member’s user roster, or otherwise through the Member’s Account, has improperly accessed or disseminated information originating from ACA or violated the Terms of Use, the Member must report the event to ACA immediately and take appropriate corrective action, which shall include, but not exclusively: (a) preventing further unauthorized access; (b) issuing notice to all known and suspected unauthorized recipients of the breach; (c) providing to ACA a disclosure of all known recipients of Member Content; (d) destroying or returning all information improperly retrieved or disseminated; and (e) cooperating with ACA in such a manner as ACA may determine appropriate under the circumstances to avoid further harm.
