Thanks SU!  Here's the full program (with some additional detail coming soon): Meet the hackers! Back by popular demand - but better than last year too - Wendy Knox Everette and Brendan O'Connor (with a possible third special guest to join) will blow your minds on data privacy, security, and everything you ever needed to know about hackers. GDP . . . What?  Join us for the fastest and best primer on what GDPR is and why you should care. Local attorney and GDPR expert Deserae Abed-Rabbo Weitmann is going to lay some serious GDPR knowledge on us. Get ready. QnA Markup Hackathon Then, we hack. Using David Colarusso's QnA Markup Tool participants (that's you!) will build interactive Q and A tools to answer a legal question. We'll all vote on a winner. Oh, and we're bringing Tom Martin from LawDroid in Vancouver BC to oversee the hacking mania. And don't be intimidated! If you know how to type and can follow some simple directions you can learn to use QnA Markup in just a few minutes.   A2J Tech Next, we'll talk access to justice and technology with access advocate and tech rockstar Sart Rowe. Cutting Edge Legal Service Models Finally Dan Lear and Jordan Couch will talk about how innovators are, can, and should build new, ethically compliant, business models to collaborate with others outside of legal to build cutting edge legal service delivery models to transform the legal landscape.

Global Cyber Security Initiative (GCSI), in partnership with the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT), Pan Asian American Business council (PAABC) and Convex Legal LLC are hosting the 2018 GCSI Cybersecurity Conference. We will host our first GCSI conference from 9am to 6pm, Friday, Nov. 9 at Chicago - Kent College of Law, 565 W. Adams St., Chicago.  The conference begins with a Hackathon showcasing innovative solutions to the problems facing highly regulated industries. We are bringing more than 100 cybersecurity leaders, Senior Executives, C-Level Executives, CISOs, Compliance Specialist, and Security Officers for sessions focused on Cyber Security Planning, Strategy, Risk & Budgeting.  GCSI was organized in October 2016 to address the SEC and FINRA’s annual areas of concern for their member firms. Since then, GCSI expanded to include topics, such as controlling your cyber security budget and how to discreetly hire a CISO. The GCSI expanded its focus to assist all highly regulated industries, including healthcare, insurance, finance, etc. Each month, we host events that bring together executives to discuss topics such as cybersecurity insurance, human engineering and more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8c2wYr8Hvk&feature=youtu.be Schedule                Morning Hackathon schedule   9:00 - 9:25 am      Ed Lamark -  Wealthfront: Fintech   9:25 - 9:50 am      Anita Nikolich - Illinois Tech: Cryptocurrency and cybersecurity   9:50 - 10:15 am    Kassem Fawaz :  AI and the changing landscape of privacy notice and choice   10:15 - 10:30 am  Coffee break   10:30 - 11:00 am  GDPR Panel discussion:   Moderator: Brian Jenkins, Business Block/ Former CNN correspondent       Henry Beverly, Deputy CIO, Cook County   Maurice Dawson Jr., D.Sc., Ph.D., SMIEEE, Director of Illinois Institute of Technology Center for Cyber Security and Forensics Education (C2SAFE), Assistant Professor of Information Technology and Management   Shuchi Jain, Marketing Research Analyst at Illinois Institute of Technology   Andrew Kumiega, Assistant Professor of Analytics, Stuart school of Business, Illinois Institute of Technology     Ed Lamark - Founder of Wealthpool LLC    11:00 - 12:00 am: Hackathon Award Ceremony  Noon - 1                  Lunch (Round Table - By invitation only) Moderator: Michael Philips CEO, VSEC, LLC 1-1:50                     Keynote: Sujeet Shenoi, University of Tulsa Topic: Why are critical infrastructure assets so easy to attack? 1:50-2:20                Panel: Emerging Technologies: Blockchain for contract management Moderator: Sean O'Kelly, CIO, State of Illinois Wulf Kaal.
