#PredictionMarkets — once largely confined to academic discourse — are now in the news almost daily and at the center of a vibrant policy debate.

On May 29, leading experts will examine the rapidly evolving legal landscape surrounding prediction markets, explore their evolution as a market platform, and address key questions concerning the boundaries between state and federal jurisdiction, the intersection of gaming law and derivatives regulation, market structure, consumer protection, and insider trading.
