2025 Conference Preview

In addition to having the beautiful and historic Willard Hotel in Washington DC as our
conference venue for 2025, the program promises to be both interesting and relevant for
conference attendees. Once again, we are honored to have incredibly impressive and
experienced speakers as our conference guests.

As a few examples, included in this year’s conference will be a panel of experts led by
NAFUSA board member Scott Schools, Chief Compliance Officer at OpenAI. The panel,
entitled “Every Conference Has to Have an AI Session -This is it!” will discuss AI policy,
copyright issues and AI in the legal profession. The panel will Include Ben Rossen,
Associate General Counsel and Head of Policy Legal at OpenAI; Danny Tobey, Chair of DLA Piper’s AI and Data Analytics Practice, a successful software founder, and medical doctor; and Sy Damie, Partner and Vice Chair of Artificial Intelligence Practice, Latham & Watkins.

This year’s Supreme Court Review will be a panel including Jessica Amunson and Adam
Unikowsky, both Harvard Law graduates and partners at Jenner and Block, LLP in its
Appellate & Supreme Court Practice, which Ms. Amunson co-chairs. She was featured in a Harvard Law Today article in 2023 titled, “What’s it like to argue in front of the Supreme
Court?”Mr. Unikowsky was a judicial law clerk to Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.

Conner Eldridge, NAFUSA board member, founding partner of Eldridge Brooks, and
Chairman & CEO, Riverside Bank, Little Rock, Arkansas, will moderate a timely (and most
likely very lively) panel discussion on the legal and practical impact of changes to the rules
governing college sports rules, “Show Me the Money: The Current and Ever-changing
Landscape of Collegiate Athletics, the NIL and Thoughts on Justice in College Sports.”
