2024 Winnik International T&T Forum

The annual Winnik International Tech & Telecom Forum, hosted by the Hogan Lovells Communications, Internet, and Media practice and Technology and Telecoms Sectors, was held on Thursday, 26 September 2024 in our Washington, D.C. office.

Geopolitical issues, consequential elections, and cross-border investment matters took center stage in 2024. The Forum explored "Geopolitical Risk and Investment in the Tech and Telecom Sectors," and featured panels and presentations on the impact of high-profile global elections, the Supreme Court’s recent ruling eliminating the Chevron deference doctrine, foreign investment control and review, and privacy, online safety, AI, and other hot-button tech regulatory issues.

Explore thought leadership from the event:

• Winnik Forum participants predict sustained scrutiny of foreign ownership in the U.S. tech and telecoms sectors

Panelists provided important insights on the factors driving heightened scrutiny of foreign ownership and investment and increased regulatory attention, how regulators are responding to the evolving geopolitical landscape, and the challenges that tech and telecoms companies face in this environment.

• Adapting to Change: Winnik panelists discuss regulatory changes in a shifting geopolitical landscape

A key focus of this year’s Forum was how geopolitical factors and administrative policies create challenges for tech and telecoms companies trying to navigate a fractured regulatory landscape, as well as the significant impact that domestic and international political dynamics can have on business.

• Winnik panelists discuss the impact of Loper Bright on FCC rulemaking

The U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, which overruled the Court’s 1984 decision in Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council, may alter federal agencies’ approach to the rulemaking process, especially at the FCC.

• What is not a Loper Bright issue: A practical guide

The Supreme Court’s decision in Loper Bright striking down the Chevron doctrine is a momentous decision. But not every administrative-law question is a Loper Bright issue. Here is a practical guide on what Loper Bright isn’t.
