ITechLaw 2014 EUROPEAN CONFERENCE
Dear Colleagues,
In just a few short weeks we will again convene at the European
Conference, this year’s event taking place at the luxurious Westin
Paris – Vendôme from 15 - 17 October. Between the outstanding
educational program and the beautiful venues for our evening
networking events, this is an event not to miss.
Our education committee has put together a diverse agenda of
sessions covering the latest issues in technology law. Tracks
include: international cybercrime; virtual currencies; security &
technologies; data as a source of value creation; data protection;
social media & gaming; protection of personal data; cloud, open
source and sourcing services agreements; new technologies;
artificial intelligence & robots; benefit realization in IT projects;
intellectual property; litigation & arbitration; and liabilities in the
internet world.
After a day packed full of learning and discussions, relax and
network with colleagues at the Maison du Barreau for the
Welcome Reception, the historical Automobile Club de France for
the Gala, and conclude the event at the Westin’s Winter Garden.
These past few months as President, I have been working on a
number of initiatives for ITechLaw. Our membership drive through
our Member-Get-a-Member campaign and Young Lawyers
Committee is going well, and I encourage you to learn more about
how you can help us grow. We recently launched a Cyber Crime
Committee that we hope will become a trusted and authoritative resource on cyber crime issues for the legal and legislative
communities.
Beginning in August, I am holding a number of Presidential Lunches
in order to meet some of our members and hear your feedback
about the future of this organization. I will be traveling to Warsaw,
Budapest, Bucharest, and Madrid this fall and I hope you are able
to join me if you are local to one of these cities.
Thank you to Christian Frank, Jenna Karadbil, Rob Reiss, Charles
Morgan, Steven de Schrjver, Claire Bernier and the local Planning
Committee for your extensive work to put together this event.
On behalf of the committee, we look forward to seeing you in Paris
in October!
Sincerely,
Sajai Singh
President, ITechLaw
