8:45 am – 9:00 am | Welcome
Vickie B. Ahlers & Grayson J. Derrick
9:00 am – 9:45 am | Crypto Currency: Fads, Frauds, and Fallout
Robert L. Kardell & Jeremy C. Hollembeak
This session will explore the current trends of cryptocurrency trading, the trading platforms, and the international aspects of the cryptocurrency exchanges. We will also review how the platforms are being used to commit fraud as well as the investigative steps necessary to identify the ultimate recipients of the trades and transfers.

10:00 am – 11:00 am | Compliance on the Horizon: Nebraska and Iowa Comprehensive Data Privacy Laws
AriAnna C. Goldstein & Grayson J. Derrick
After several years anticipating the adoption of comprehensive data privacy regimes in our own backyard, Iowa and Nebraska have both passed legislation that take effect on January 1, 2025. This session will take a deep dive into the applicability of each law to determine whether your organization has compliance obligations and just what those compliance obligations include. We’ll conclude the session with a discussion of practical tools and mechanisms for compliance.
11:00 am – 11:45 am | Federal Data Privacy – What’s In, What’s Out and the Impact of Chevron
Vickie B. Ahlers & Erin E. Busch
This past year has seen ongoing efforts to pass privacy bills at the federal level. In the health care sector in particular, there is a new Final Rule changing HIPAA for the first time in over 10 years to address concerns stemming from the overturning of Roe v. Wade. The Final Rule has far-reaching implications. But the Supreme Court’s willingness to overturn decades old precedent could have implications on federal privacy rules (and federal rules in general). This session will review the new HIPAA Rule to Support Reproductive Health Care Privacy. We will also discuss the Court’s recent decision in Loper Bright Enterprises to overturn Chevron and eliminate the deference courts must give to agency interpretations of federal law.
