    TechTainment™ 2026

    Welcome to our twelfth annual TechTainment™ 2026, the cutting-edge conference focusing on the dynamic intersection of technology, entertainment, and law. Our mission is to explore the latest technological advancements in the entertainment and Technology industries and delve into their profound legal and business implications. TechTainment’s motto is “Technology + Entertainment + Law” and what better place to hold the conference than in Los Angeles, the Entertainment capital of the world.    

    Los Angeles Intellectual Property Law Association (LAIPLA), The Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University (ASU Law), and The McCarthy Institute at ASU Law have partnered for their third year to produce TechTainment™ 2026

    TechTainment™ 2026 will take place at ASU’s downtown location originally constructed in 1914 for William Randolph Hearst, formerly known as the Herald Examiner Building, an Art Deco building located in the heart of downtown Los Angeles and the center of the world’s creative industries. The event will feature over 5.0 MCLE hours in each track and include a keynote lunch with a second plenary keynote, followed by a reception. There will be dedicated networking breaks, fostering face-to-face interactions with our speakers and fellow industry professionals. We have additional surprises planned for our twelfth annual conference.

    Please refer to https://events.asucollegeoflaw.com/techtainment/ for latest programming.

    We invite you to join us at this year’s TechTainment™ 2026 conference, where you will gain invaluable legal insights into the forefront of technology in the entertainment sector and equip yourself to stay ahead in the rapidly evolving landscape of technological innovation.
