9:00 am - 9:30 am Opening Keynote: Fostering Relationships Externally and Internally for a Resilient Global Digital Regulatory Strategy

Kate Ross - GM & Associate General Counsel, Digital Safety Unit, Microsoft

In an era of fast-moving regulation and heightened scrutiny, regulatory adherence can no longer be treated as a back-office obligation. Executives must elevate regulatory alignment into a strategic enabler - making evolving rules work for the organisation while reinforcing trust with stakeholders. This requires constructive alignment internally across leadership teams and resilient, transparent relationships with regulators, industry bodies, and civil society. In this session, Kate Ross from Microsoft will discuss how senior leaders can position regulatory coherence as a driver of long-term resilience and global consistency.

  • Embedding regulatory alignment as a board-level priority that informs business strategy
  • Forging constructive internal coherence to ensure adherence supports growth and innovation
  • Building trusted, long-term relationships with regulators and external stakeholders
  • Creating globally consistent strategies that adapt to diverse regulatory environments

Not every platform has a large compliance department — yet regulatory demands continue to expand across safety, AI, competition, and privacy. Legal and compliance leaders must find ways to meet obligations with lean teams and constrained budgets. This session will explore practical strategies for prioritising risks, leveraging technology, and embedding compliance across the organisation to ensure resilience without overextending resources.

  • Prioritising compliance risks and obligations to focus limited resources where they matter most
  • Leveraging technology, automation, and external expertise to extend team capacity
  • Embedding compliance responsibilities into wider business functions to reduce silos
  • Building scalable frameworks that allow small teams to manage growing regulatory complexity

10:10 am - 10:40 am Session Details To Be Announced


10:40 am - 11:10 am Morning Refreshments

Platforms are navigating an unprecedented wave of overlapping obligations from the DSA, DMA, OSA, AI Act, NIS2, and DMCC. Tackling each regulation in isolation creates duplication, inefficiency, and unnecessary risk. This panel will examine how legal and compliance leaders can design a global compliance architecture that unifies these requirements into a single, coherent framework.

  • Harmonising compliance obligations across multiple regimes without duplicating effort
  • How to build a scalable global compliance architecture that adapts to future regulation
  • Practical approaches to embedding compliance into operations while maintaining agility and innovation
  • Lessons from leading organisations on managing fragmented regulatory landscapes

New regulatory frameworks are raising the bar for content governance, requiring platforms to build transparent and accountable moderation processes, and enable quick takedowns. From notice-and-action systems to trusted flaggers and user appeals, compliance teams must design workflows that meet legal obligations while protecting user rights and platform integrity.

  • Designing effective notice-and-action mechanisms that balance speed, accuracy, and transparency
  • Implementing trusted flagger programmes and integrating their input into moderation processes
  • Building fair, user-friendly appeals systems that withstand regulatory scrutiny
  • Embedding independent oversight into content governance to enhance accountability

Europe's enforcement era has arrived. The European Commission has made clear that digital regulation enforcement is a top priority, with consumer protection rules including the DSA, Platform to Business Regulation and the landmark Digital Fairness Act creating unprecedented scrutiny of platform practices.

For in-house counsel, the challenge isn't just achieving compliance today - it's building an evidence base that protects you in tomorrow's enforcement investigations and actions. This session shows you how to comply with an eye to defence: ensuring that your documentation is in order alongside robust governance frameworks, and audit trails so that when regulators come knocking, you're not scrambling to reconstruct what you did and why.

3:40 pm - 4:10 pm Networking Break

As regulation tightens, the line between Trust & Safety and Compliance is becoming increasingly blurred. T&S teams’ risk being pulled into purely regulatory functions, while compliance leaders need to understand the operational realities of new regulatory requirements. This session explores how the two functions work in tandem to avoid duplication, preserve agility, and build a unified approach to safety and compliance that meets both legal obligations and user expectations.

  • Clarifying roles and responsibilities between T&S and Compliance teams
  • Aligning regulatory obligations with day-to-day Trust & Safety operations
  • Avoiding duplication and inefficiency by building shared frameworks and governance models
  • Ensuring user protection and safety remain central while meeting compliance requirements

Two years into the Digital Services Act and with the UK’s Online Safety Act now in force, platforms have had to operationalise some of the most ambitious regulatory frameworks ever introduced. This panel will bring together senior legal and Trust & Safety leaders to share candid reflections on how these regimes are working in practice, what lessons have been learned, and how compliance strategies are being reshaped for a more regulated digital ecosystem. The discussion will go beyond theory to explore the operational, organisational, and strategic realities of navigating these landmark regulations and their ripple effects across global markets.

  • Honest evaluations of what has worked under the DSA and OSA, and where challenges remain in delivering on policy goals
  • How enforcement, transparency, and systemic-risk duties are reshaping compliance operations and regulator relationships
  • Practical insights into the organisational cost, unintended consequences, and day-to-day realities of implementing both Acts
  • Informing future compliance strategies as global frameworks continue to converge and diverge
