WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?

The Summit offers a selection of 30+ sessions ranging from quick-fire TED-style talks to focused streams, roundtables, panel discussions and interviews.

Start the day by learning about the trends affecting today's socio-political climate, what the future holds for the legal industry, how your peers are reacting to these changes and how to go about defining your strategy in a tech driven future.

The roundtables are a great opportunity to network and share ideas with like-minded industry peers in a less formal environment. Take advantage of these interactive discussions to get answers to your questions, to discuss practical solutions to your current challenges and to benchmark with peers.

Make the most out of the networking functions the event has to offer by making new contacts or reconnecting with existing ones. Take advantage of the time provided by exchanging thoughts and impressions on the event’s discussions and finding out what your peers think of these issues.
