The Federal Trade Commission will host a workshop on January 25, 2007, at its satellite building in Washington, DC, to analyze the marketing of goods and services through offers with negative option features. The workshop, which will bring together consumer representatives, academics, and industry leaders, will address the pros and cons of such offers, discuss online marketing of such offers, and explore ways to make effective disclosures when such offers are made online. The workshop is free and open to the public. The Commission is also publishing a Federal Register notice soliciting public comment on the issues addressed by the workshop. All attendees will be required to display a current driver's license or other valid form of photo identification. The Conference Center is accessible to people with disabilities.
