Seminar
ThinkHouse Advertising Law - A Year in Review
29 January 2026
16:00-19:30
Don't miss your chance to get the lowdown on the latest ad law developments – and avoid getting caught out by the ASA's bots – at our third annual 'Advertising Law: A Year in Review' seminar for in-house counsel, coming up in January.
As usual, we'll be celebrating creativity (*but also disclaimers), as we look back on a seismic year for advertising regulation in 2025 and forward to what we see coming down the tracks in 2026.
Join us in London on Thursday 29 January, from 16:00 - 19:30 for talks from Dan, Zoe and Alex, finishing with networking drinks and nibbles and time to chat all things ad law and compare our AI personal assistants, while admiring the 100% real view over the Thames and Tower Bridge.
We'll cover:
- The new consumer law in the Digital Markets Competition and Consumers Act, nine months on, & the changing landscape of UK advertising regulation
- A round-up of all the action from the newly interventionist CMA – Ticketmaster, Emma Sleep, drip pricing, fake reviews and more
- The ASA and what its Active Ad Monitoring system will be crawling next (warning: it includes LinkedIn)
- Greenwashing and how ASA action on it hasn't slowed in the face of changing global politics
- The obligatory section on AI in ads – what are we seeing and how is it labelled?
- What lies ahead in data protection for advertisers
- Less healthy foods, protecting children and vulnerable consumers, social responsibility, 'social washing', comparative advertising and more
All, of course, illustrated with fun stories from the #Adlaw trenches (and probably some videos).
If you're in-house counsel and want o keep up with the latest advertising law updates then this event is for you.
