Notable sessions featured discussions on bipartisan collaboration among attorneys general, an overview of cryptocurrency and its implications, and a midterm review of significant Supreme Court cases impacting state attorney general offices.
Attendees had the opportunity to engage in networking events, such as a welcome reception and luncheons, fostering collaboration and the exchange of ideas. The symposium also featured distinguished speakers, including Jim Steyer, founder of Common Sense Media, who addressed the impact of technology on society, particularly on children, and emphasized the role of attorneys general in consumer protection.
