8:50 am - 9:00 am Opening Remarks From Chair

9:00 am - 9:30 am Keynote Presentation: Aligning Legal, Risk and Product to Manage Regulatory Exposure at Scale

Camilla Gerosa - Legal Counsel, Bending Spoons

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.

  • Embedding compliance and risk frameworks directly into product development and deployment workflows
  • Bridging organisational gaps between legal, compliance, product, and engineering functions
  • Documenting decisions, risk assessments, and mitigations to withstand regulatory and public scrutiny
  • Building governance structures that balance innovation with accountability across all high-risk areas

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.

  • Developing standardised compliance frameworks that can flex to meet global and local regulatory requirements
  • Reducing silos and duplication by streamlining processes across legal, policy, and product functions
  • Building agility into operating models to adapt quickly as new regulations emerge (safety, data, AI, competition)
  • Connecting regional and business unit operations to central oversight for consistency and accountability

Gwen Morvan - Senior Legal Counsel, Synthesia

As AI regulation accelerates, organisations are under pressure to move beyond policy statements and build real governance structures around AI systems.

  • Translating EU AI Act requirements into practical internal governance frameworks
  • Building cross-functional structures to manage AI risk and regulatory compliance
  • What ISO/IEC 42001 certification requires in practice and why Synthesia pursued it

11:10 am - 11:40 am Presentation: Remedy Entertainment – Building Legal & Compliance Foundations for a New Era of Gaming

Ieva Kovarskyte - Legal Director, Remedy Entertainment

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:

  • Establishing compliance and governance frameworks from scratch to support multiplayer expansion
  • Managing regulatory requirements unique to the gaming ecosystem, from data to online safety
  • Addressing the challenges of outsourcing legal in a highly specialised, niche sector
  • Preparing for and operationalising compliance with the EU AI Act

11:40 am - 12:10 pm Panel: DMCCA and Fake Reviews: Building a Global Compliance Framework

Gina Southwood - Regulatory Legal Counsel, Trustpilot
Mark Scodie - Assistant General Counsel, TripAdvisor Inc

The UK’s Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act puts fake and incentivised reviews squarely in the regulatory spotlight, with meaningful enforcement risk for platforms that get this wrong. This session brings together invited speakers from two leading review platforms to unpack what compliance now requires in the UK, how it aligns with global regimes, and how to build controls that stand up to scrutiny.

  • What the DMCCA requires in practice, including expectations around detecting, preventing and removing fake and incentivised reviews
  • How the UK regime compares and interacts with the EU consumer framework, the Digital Services Act and other global laws targeting misleading commercial practices
  • Governance, controls and industry collaboration, including the role of the Coalition for Trusted Reviews in setting standards and demonstrating accountability

12:15 pm - 12:45 pm Presentation: Managing Global Regulation and Risk at Yubo with Limited Resources

Margaux Liquard - Head of Trust and Safety Operations, Yubo

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.

  • Strategies for managing global regulatory obligations with lean teams and budgets
  • Embedding a proactive compliance ethos that goes beyond minimum requirements
  • Balancing proactive risk prevention with reactive risk management
  • Building strong relationships with leadership, regulators, and external partners to amplify resources

1:50 pm - 2:25 pm The Privacy Paradox: Beyond the GDPR Gold Standard - Strategic Lessons from the Global Frontlines

Teodora Pimpireva - Global Head of Privacy, UNiDAYS

The "GDPR-first" strategy is no longer a safety net—it’s a baseline that often fails when it hits local realities. From the draconian biometric requirements of Illinois (BIPA) to the high-stakes world of age verification and minor-specific protections, global data stewardship is now a game of managing contradictions. This session moves past the theory of data transfers to the practical reality of running a global platform with limited resources. We will explore how to build a resilient governance architecture that survives localized crackdowns without paralysing your product roadmap.

  • The Biometric Trap & Age Gates: Navigating ID verification and minor-specific safety standards (BIPA, UK Children’s Code, and beyond)
  • The Resource Gap: How to prioritize "Localised Risk" vs. "Global Norms" when you don't have a 100-person regulatory resilience team
  • Engineering Trust into the Flow: Practical strategies for aligning identity verification and content safety with evolving "dark pattern" user protection laws

3:00 pm - 3:40 pm Panel Discussion: When Tech Meets Investigations – Engaging with Regulators, Public Inquiries and Coroners

Ben Packer - Partner, Linklaters
Laetitia Temper - Safety Specialist, TIER-Dott
Nicola Margiotta - Lead Counsel - Content Regulation, TikTok
Telha Aarshad - Senior Counsel, Google

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.

  • Understanding the landscape that triggers formal investigations and who are the key investigative bodies (regulators, public inquiries, coroners)?
  • Building preparation strategies and playbooks for evidence handling, data preservation, and cross-team coordination before an investigation arises.
  • Best practices for responding to regulators - balancing transparency with legal obligations and reputational protection.
  • Cross-functional collaboration: How compliance, trust & safety, product, and legal teams can align under pressure.
