AGENDA
1:00 – 1:05 p.m. Welcome and Introductions
1:05 – 2:00 p.m. A Practitioner’s Guide to Navigating Tech Deals Now and in the Future
Winning approval of a technology deal in 2026 is very different than it was ten years ago. At this CLE, expert practitioners will share the art of crafting the tech deal and tips for winning approval. Panelists will discuss how current telecom regulatory trends, AI, and other emerging technologies are influencing tech deals and their approach to those deals. This conversation will focus on some of the new kinds of transactions and policy issues that technology M&A lawyers currently handle in light of the growth of emerging technologies as well as insights from their work with the FCC, FTC, national security bodies (such as CFIUS), and international authorities. Panelists will share their wisdom from prior transactions and make predictions about the legal issues they will be navigating in tech deals going forward.

2:00 – 3:00 p.m. Making Sense of Recent Tech M&A and What the Future Holds
Verizon sold wireline assets to Frontier over a decade ago – then bought them back earlier this year. Making sense of these and other tech deals is not for the faint of heart. Learn from expert panelists about the why behind significant deals in the technology sector, what the future holds – and perspectives on how these deals are viewed from the lens of the FCC’s public interest standard – and more.
