Due to the ongoing government shutdown, the BBA White Collar Crime Conference has been postponed. A number of our conference panelists and guests are federal government employees and are unable to participate in the conference during the shutdown. In the interest of delivering a high quality educational and networking experience and ensuring all members of the white collar bar are able to participate, a new date for the conference has been set for Monday, April 22, 2019.
If you had not previously registered for the conference, a registration link for the new date will be made available shortly. If you have any questions please contact Rachel Andreas at randreas@bostonbar.org or at 617-778-1904. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
