Greg and I attended the annual Hospitality Law Conference in Houston this February, which devoted an entire track to data privacy issues. It’s the definition of a hot topic, and important, so please take note!
On Thursday, May 20, the second installment of the quarterly seminar was held on issues facing clients in the hospitality and tourism industry at Seattle's Hotel 1000. For those of you that were able to attend the presentation, I am sure you would agree that the panelists provided an informative and often entertaining presentation.
