“We are thrilled to have had so many countries in attendance at this year's global meeting,” said Stacy Bess, GALA's executive director. “It was particularly exciting to welcome to Chicago our new members Mersan Abogados from Paraguay and Stratulat Albulescu from Romania.”
At the conference, GALA members presented a panel on “Global Hot Topics in Advertising Law - A Year in Review.” Moderated by Jeffrey A.

“As the issues faced by global advertisers become more complex, we were very pleased to be able to bring together this group of experts from around the world in Chicago,” said Jeffrey A. Greenbaum, managing partner at Frankfurt Kurnit in New York and GALA's global chairman. “During our educational sessions, we gave insights to advertisers that will help them market to consumers more effectively in their own countries and across borders.”
