Panel I - Social Media Influencers
Social media influencer marketing has become an integral component of many fashion brands’ overall marketing strategy. While the power of influencer marketing is undeniable, brands must still be mindful of the potential legal and PR pitfalls involved with using influencers. How can brands and influencers create authentic and effective content while complying with applicable laws and regulations and maintaining consumer trust?
NYSBA’s Fashion Law Committee invites you to attend its annual panel for a lively discussion with industry attorneys and influencers as they discuss a range of topics surrounding influencer marketing, including best practices, FTC regulations and enforcement, contract negotiations and recent cases.

In this #MeToo era, the fashion industry continues to grapple with issues of sexual harassment and sexual assault that some argue have long plagued the industry. Please join the Fashion Law Committee for a timely and engaging discussion that will explore the ways industry stakeholders are tackling these issues from a legal, policy and organizational perspective. Hear industry insiders, attorneys and advocates discuss employer obligations and best practices, legal protections available to employees and independent contractors, recent legislative and policy initiatives and the impact the recent scandals have had on the fashion industry.
