2023 Spring Symposium:

John D. Lanza will speak as a panelist at the 2023 Spring Symposium: ESG & Blockchain, Seeking Clarity Through Radical Transparency. He will speak on the Social & Blockchain: NFTs, Consumer-Corporate Interactions, and the Balancing of IP Interests panel, which will focus on the social implications of blockchain technology, and consider consumer-corporate interactions and intellectual property law that serves a huge role in this industry. This symposium is put on by Wake Forest University School of Law, and will be held in person on March 17, 2023.

Environmental, Social, and Governance reporting has brought a new era of transparency to businesses and organizations throughout the world to all stakeholders. The development of blockchain technology allows users to have an active ledger of all transactions within its ecosystem, leading to system-wide transparency. Wake Forest’s student organization, the Journal of Business and Intellectual Property Law (JBIPL), seeks to explore the intersection of ESG and blockchain as each continues to play a larger role throughout the global economy with this year’s annual symposium.
