The International Section 2024 Virtual Annual Meeting, organized by the New York State Bar Association (NYSBA), focuses on the theme "The World of Digital Assets: What Happened? What Will Happen? And Why It Matters." This program explores the legal and practical issues involved in the digital assets area through two comprehensive sessions.
The first session presents expert practitioners from multiple jurisdictions who address how each is regulating digital assets and the obstacles in each jurisdiction. The second session features a well-known crypto journalist and former high-ranking state department staffer, along with a former general counsel at a crypto company and current managing director at FTI Consulting. They participate in a guided discussion of future prospects for the industry, identifying potential opportunities and pitfalls.
The event includes an award presentation and acceptance ceremony, featuring the Albert S. Pergam International Law Writing Competition Award and the Distinction in International Law and Affairs Award. Additionally, there are opening and closing remarks by Gonzalo S. Zeballos, International Section Chair of NYSBA, and an election of officers.
This meeting is ideal for legal professionals interested in the evolving landscape of digital assets, offering insights into global regulatory perspectives and future industry trends.
