Building on the success of previous years, the Future of Tech Regulation Conference returns to examine the latest legislative developments shaping the technology landscape within the EU. This year, there will be a particular focus on the key role played by the Irish Courts in resolving disputes that flow from Ireland’s lead role in supervising and enforcing EU technology regulations.
Attendees will hear from a diverse and engaging panel of experts, including prominent industry stakeholders and representatives from key regulators at both a domestic and EU level. A&L Goodbody's subject matter experts will also provide an essential "need-to-know" session, offering clear insights on the latest legal developments in data protection, online platform regulation and artificial intelligence.
This panel will explore the practical considerations associated with rising regulatory challenges and navigating regulatory investigations and appeals under key EU legislative frameworks like the GDPR, DSA, and the AVMSD. It will also examine emerging civil litigation trends relevant to tech companies, including the potential for class-actions.
The session will begin with a key note address by Rossa Fanning, Ireland's Attorney General. A panel discussion will follow.
