Pre-registration is not necessary to attend, but is encouraged so that we may better plan this event.

When you pre-register, we collect your name, affiliation, and your email address. We use the name and affiliation you have provided for conference administration purposes – to estimate how many people will attend, prepare nametags, and better understand the likely audience for the conference, and we may use your email address to contact you with information about the conference.

Under the Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”) or other laws, we may be required to disclose to outside organizations the information you provide when you pre-register for events that require registration. The Commission will consider all timely and responsive public comments, whether filed in paper or electronic form, and as a matter of discretion, we make every effort to remove home contact information for individuals from the public comments before posting them on the FTC website.

The FTC Act and other laws we administer permit the collection of your pre-registration contact information and the comments you file to consider and use in this proceeding as appropriate. For additional information, including routine uses permitted by the Privacy Act, see the Commission’s Privacy Act system for public records and comprehensive privacy policy.
