Are you having a good show so far? Is traffic good through the
tradeshow area?

I hope everything goes well for your family member and that it's nothing serious. Keep us posted.

My team at the show is reporting some great news and have gotten some very positive feedback. Well worth attending!

I'll try to post some show feedback when the boys get back to town after the show.

Thanks for reporting and starting this thread.

Thanks, it ended up being a bad case of food poisoning. They are testing to be sure its not ecoli or anything super nasty. But she'll be OK.

Look forward to the report from the guys!

Good to see WebProNews is covering the Summit and covering it very well I might add.
Here is what I've found so far.

Great video interview with with Pete Wellborn of Wellborn and Wallace LLC who was one of the main speakers on “What you don’t know may hurt you”. Wellborn talks about how third parties can make you liable.

Commentary on the session discussed above.

VERY IMPORTANT: Ads And Liability

"Pete Wellborn said most lawyers don't know about affiliate programs and they don't understand Internet law. He said the government has put a bull's eye on affiliate programs with the Federal Trade Commission calling the shots.

He touched on vicarious liability saying you are generally liable for a contractor's acts and the Federal Trade Commission has strict liability for acts of affiliates."
