Legal Lens (with Jeffrey Izzo) (26 May 2026)

Wed, 27 May 2026 02:30:00 GMT

If you attended our March Expert Speaker Series, you'll remember fellow SCA member and career entertainment lawyer Jeff Izzo, who only got through about 1/3 of his presentation on contracts, copyright, and more because the conversation and Q+A was so active and engaging. Being the wealth of knowledge he is (while also being one of the nicest educators in the PNW), we've decided to give him his own slot on the SCA calendar with a new seasonal program — Legal Lens (with Jeffrey Izzo)!

RSVPs are required for this event, and Jeff will choose a handful of topics submitted via the RSVP form to focus the discussion. Join us on May 26th at 7:30pm (doors at 7pm) at the LAB @ 1010 (1010 S Bailey St, Seattle, WA 98108).
