Join us for the 2016 Annual Health Law Symposium, which will feature keynote speaker Michael J. Daugherty, author of the book, “The Devil Inside the Beltway: The Shocking Exposé of the U.S. Government's Surveillance and Overreach into Cybersecurity, Medicine and Small Business.” Daugherty, who is founder, president and CEO of the Atlanta-based cancer detection laboratory LabMD, will discuss his battle with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) over data security practices. With his insider’s view of an FTC investigation, Daugherty has testified before the House of Representatives House Oversight Committee and regularly keynotes in front of health care, law, business and technology audiences, educating them on what to expect when the federal government initiates an investigation. 

After his keynote discussion, Michael Daugherty will be available to sign copies of his book, “Devil Inside the Beltway.” Please note that only a limited number of books will be available on site to purchase (cash only); however, you can order your copy of his book ahead of time here.
