The keynote speaker, Lynn Oberlander, is General Counsel for Gizmodo Media Group.

Joined by experts in First Amendment law–as well as prominent local and national journalists–the three panels will focus on:

1. FOIA litigation;
2. whistleblowers, leakers and national security;
3. and (3) fake news, propaganda and disinformation.

We are excited to delve into this important and timely topic, and very much look forward to seeing all of you there!
