The panel will also look at what this type of legislation will mean and/or how it will change in the next 5-10 years. To this end, the panel will also address the interplay between the personal and professional in social media and discuss the ramifications of social media existing as both personal and professional as we move forward in a world that increasingly relies on social media for communication.
