M&S Predicts: The 2026 Regulatory Outlook

Are you ready for what’s next? Regulatory change is accelerating, driven by technology, consumer demands, and evolving enforcement priorities. 2026 promises new challenges—and opportunities—for every consumer-facing business.

Join M&S Partners and former regulators Michele Shuster & Helen Mac Murray for their annual deep dive into what lies ahead. They’ll share bold predictions, unpack emerging risks, and outline practical steps you can take now to stay informed, prepared, and positioned for success.

Just some of the questions that will be tackled in this dynamic session:

• Will regulators really begin closing the gap between AI and other fast-moving tech and outdated rules? Or will businesses be left navigating uncertainty?
• Which enforcement priorities will dominate in 2026 at the FCC and FTC under current leadership?
• How will state-level regulations and AG enforcement trends impact national compliance strategies?
• Which industries face the greatest TCPA litigation risks and how can they reduce their exposure?
• Could the FCC’s proposed Call Branding rule changes and tech blocking and labeling trends like iOS 26 completely disrupt your business operations?

Shifting regulatory frameworks, accelerating technology, and rising consumer expectations are creating a compliance environment unlike anything we’ve seen before. Businesses that anticipate these changes will not only minimize risk—they’ll uncover opportunities for growth and competitive advantage.

This is your chance to gain clarity and confidence heading into 2026. Don’t miss it!
