In September, MMTC began promoting its inaugural Access to Opportunity Conference that will be held on October 31st from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Hogan Lovells Conference Center in DC. Go here to register for the conference (agenda included): https://mmtconline.org/mmtc19.

Our theme, “Access to Opportunity,” reflects MMTC’s pivotal role as a convenor and a connector that educates and trains diverse communities on law and policy, and access to capital, jobs, and other opportunities available to them in an increasingly digital economy.

At this conference, experts from government, industry, and NGOs discuss the top policy issues before the FCC, FTC, congress, and the courts on topics such as big data and antitrust; legacy media vs new media and over-the-top platforms; broadcast retransmission consent; the future of work, apprenticeships, and bridging the skills gap; piracy of copyrighted works; consumer online privacy, and the impact of facial recognition and other algorithmic technology opportunities, and biases, on communities of color.
