The Intersection of Augmented Reality, Cybersecurity, Privacy and Autonomous VehiclesModerator: Bob Nolan
Panelists: Tom Manganello, Brian Wassom and Nate Steed
Significant advances in technology are taking place and influencing our daily lives in ways we can’t imagine. Technology is transforming how we learn, work, shop, drive and communicate, and have taken the construction, health care, higher education, manufacturing, automotive, real estate, entertainment and aerospace/defense industries by storm. These new forms of digital expression, such as autonomous vehicles, are reshaping our society. And within the legal profession, we must prepare ourselves for an increase in vulnerabilities to our own organizations.
Today, organizations are experiencing cyberattacks and privacy threats at alarming rates on all levels across the globe. Advanced technology, such as AR, exposes new avenues of cyberattacks and raises privacy and security concerns, while stimulating regulations that could impede innovation.
Join us for a panel discussion as we explore the business and legal opportunities and risks of the exciting and dangerous world of AR, cybersecurity, privacy and autonomous vehicles. This is one event you won’t want to miss.

About the Panelists:
Tom Manganello:
Tom co-leads the Automotive Industry Group and the Autonomous and Connected Mobility Subcommittee for Warner.

His expertise is called upon by manufacturers, industrial and pharmaceutical companies in supply chain and commission sales disputes.

Brian Wassom:
Brian co-leads the Emerging Media and Connected Devices Practice Group at Warner, and was the first attorney to blog on AR-related legal issues (since 2011, before hardly anyone outside the industry had heard the term “augmented reality”), the first to write articles and books on the subject, and on the legal team responsible for the first constitutional challenge to a law regulating AR content. As an avid writer and speaker on all things AR/VR, Brian’s practice is making waves across state and federal courtrooms. Even the U.S. Congress sought his advice on the subject when preparing to hold its first hearing on AR.
