This conference was a tremendous success!    We wish to thank the speakers, sponsors and participants for their engaging and lively contributions to the event.  Over the span of three days, we heard from many perspectives about the current understanding of Article 2B and how it it might interact with intellectual property and other federal policies should it be adopted in its current form.  There was no shortage of drama as divergent perspectives were presented and discussed.  It is our hope that the ideas presented at this event and included in the written materials will be a valuable resource to those addressing the future of Article 2B and other information law proposals this summer and in the years to come.
