Across online safety, privacy, competition, and AI, regulators are converging on one message: platforms must demonstrate responsibility in how products are designed, deployed, and governed. Legal and compliance leaders cannot operate in isolation - alignment with product and engineering is critical to reducing exposure while enabling innovation. This keynote explores how to embed governance into the heart of product strategy.
For digital platforms that span regions, product lines, and regulatory regimes, piecemeal compliance approaches create inefficiency, duplication, and risk. Leaders need operating models that are scalable, adaptable, and embedded into the business, rather than reactive fixes to each new regulation. This session explores how to build frameworks that balance global consistency with local responsiveness.
Over the past five years, Remedy Entertainment has undergone a major transformation - shifting from its heritage in single-player AAA titles to developing ambitious multiplayer experiences. With this evolution came the challenge of building legal and compliance processes from the ground up, in a sector increasingly shaped by complex and overlapping regulations. This case study will explore how Remedy has navigated the legal and operational demands of a fast-changing industry:
Like most mid-size tech players and start-ups, Yubo face the same complex patchwork of global regulations as multinationals, but without the luxury of deep legal teams and expansive budgets. This session explores how Yubo’s legal team are seeking to strategically navigate these pressures, and adopting a safety-first mindset to go above and beyond their base-level regulatory requirements, building resilience for future growth.
Session Details To Be Announced
Data protection and privacy remain at the centre of regulatory scrutiny, with GDPR enforcement actions escalating, cross-border transfer frameworks evolving, and regulators cracking down on “dark patterns” in user flows. Platforms must adapt strategies to meet these new expectations while safeguarding user trust and enabling global operations. This session will examine how legal and compliance leaders can align privacy obligations with fast-moving regulatory requirements and design resilient governance frameworks.
As AI becomes embedded in core operations and decision-making processes, legacy regulatory frameworks are straining under the weight of technologies they were never designed to govern. Investments into AI are not only transforming operational models but also challenging the foundations of accountability, transparency, and trust in compliance. This session will explore how regulatory systems must evolve, what "integrity architecture" looks like in practice, and who is best positioned to design systems that align innovation with compliance obligations.
As online platforms come under increasing scrutiny, compliance leaders are finding themselves on the frontlines of investigations linked to online harms. From regulator-led probes and statutory public inquiries to coroners’ requests for evidence, platforms are expected to respond with speed, accuracy, and transparency - often under significant political and media spotlight. This session explores how legal, compliance, and trust & safety teams can prepare for and navigate these complex investigative processes.
The regulatory environment for digital platforms is no longer fragmented experiments, it is a permanent, global operating reality. From the DSA, DMA, and OSA to the AI Act and evolving privacy frameworks, compliance is shaping not just risk management but also platform strategy, product design, and governance. This keynote will explore what the next five years of regulation will look like, how enforcement trends will evolve, and how legal and compliance leaders can move from reactive compliance to building proactive, resilient, and globally aligned strategies.
