Welcome to the World Legal Summit Toronto! 

Date: August 1, 2019

Time: 8:30am-6:30pm

This first part of the WLS is designed to bring disparate jurisdictions together in collaboration around building a better understanding of what is happening with technology regulation and governance world-wide. Toronto will bring a unique viewpoint to the discussion, focusing on the legislative and governance structures in the city and more broadly across Canada.

This year the WLS is focusing on three main categories: 

• Identity and Personal Governance 

• Autonomous Machines

• Cyber Security and Personal Data

Collaborate with us and the global community to further the understanding of legislative and regulatory frameworks. These frameworks are enabling the sustainable development of emerging technologies and your input is important!

• Panel Discussion: Identity & Governance
• Panel Discussion: Autonomous Machines
• Panel Discussion: Cyber Security & Personal Data
• Debate: Penalizing Algorithms Gone Wrong. Should Robots Have Rights?
• WLS Open Planning 2020 (join the global committee in planning next year’s WLS)
