According to a recent Denver Business Journal article, data theft has become an epidemic with a rising tide of lawsuits as a result. Many states, including Colorado, have enacted legislation requiring businesses, including healthcare providers, to take affirmative steps to notify "victims" of information system security breaches. All of this can have significant financial and public relations consequences for healthcare facilities. The program will cover what is going on in the world of information systems and data theft, how you may be vulnerable and strategies for responding to incidents and reducing your risk.

This program is designed for CEOs, CFOs, CIOs, CNOs, human resources directors and medical records directors.

Speakers:

Rick Dakin, President and Senior Security Strategist, Coalfire Systems
William H. Fischer, Of Counsel, Holland & Hart LLP
William L. Taylor, Of Counsel, Holland & Hart LLP

The cooperation between Suffolk University Law School (SULS), Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A., and Eotvos Lorand University (ELTE), Budapest, Hungary, along with the administrative support of the Center for International Legal Studies, Salzburg, Austria, (CILS) marks a ground breaking step towards the internationalization of legal education.

Will any more coal plants be built? What plans do utility executives have on the drawing board for the kinds of plants that will be built in the future? What are the state energy advisors thinking concerning state strategies for energy development? What are some of the transmission developments we are seeing in the Southwest? What is the role of tribal participation in transmission projects?

Holland & Hart attorney Robert Pomeroy is serving as a conference co-chair and will be moderating a panel entitled "What State Energy Advisors are Thinking: State Strategies for Energy Development", featuring Tom Plant, Director of the Colorado Governor's Energy Office, and Joanna Prukop, Cabinet Secretary of the New Mexico Energy Minerals and Natural Resources Department.
