SUMMARY:Hot topics in international sales\, franchising and product law
DESCRIPTION:Our hot topics session is designed to be interactive – it is 
 the opposite of a ‘talking heads’ format! We host a series of tables whe
 re we discuss with you ‘late breaking’ topics in the areas of internatio
 nal sales\, franchising and product law. The format is interactive and t
 opics are selected to be of current interest\, and likely to stimulate d
 iscussion and debate. Moderators on each table introduce and briefly dis
 cuss the table topic\, and then the participants weigh in with their vie
 ws.\n\nYou will have the opportunity to discuss three topics. We have sc
 heduled turnover times when the participants change tables to move to th
 e next topic of their choice. By participating in the table discussions\
 , you will gain a greater insight into these areas and the other partici
 pants and table moderators will benefit from your comments.\n\nThe sessi
 on will provide you with a great opportunity to meet many other lawyers 
 and discuss topics of mutual interest with them. Many times at our table
  discussion\, participants meet lawyers from other countries who they ke
 ep in touch with for years to come. Each year\, our table moderators com
 ment that they learned as much or more from the table participants as th
 ey themselves conveyed!\n\nTable 1. Cryptolock\, ransomware\, bitcoin\,
