During 2024, the 50th anniversary of the Children’s Advertising Review Unit (CARU), we will celebrate the “evolution” of children’s advertising and privacy. In October, CARU Supporters will discuss program and policy updates, a look back at the year in review, and what is coming up in the year ahead.

Join us to discuss the ins and outs of advertising tomorrow’s promises while mitigating risks today. This in-depth event features a panel comprised of BBB National Programs' National Advertising Division Vice President Laura Brett who will be joined by Haynes Boone partners Tiffany Ferris and Joe Lawlor.

Sweepstakes and giveaways are a hot trend for brands and influencers, particularly during the holiday season. This event will focus on sweepstakes and giveaways directly targeting children, helping advertisers better understand the unique compliance requirements for these types of campaigns under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the Children’s Advertising Review Unit (CARU) Advertising and Privacy Guidelines, and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act.

The National Advertising Division (NAD) annual conference, NAD 2025 will convene advertising and legal professionals, academic and industry experts, government officials, and businesses of all sizes to examine and navigate the dynamic advertising landscape, best practices and trends, and perspectives on what’s coming next.
