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.
As AI regulation accelerates, organisations are under pressure to move beyond policy statements and build real governance structures around AI systems. In this session, Gwen will share how Synthesia is operationalising AI governance in practice, including the company’s journey to becoming the first AI video company to achieve ISO/IEC 42001 certification.
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:
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.
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.
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.
Session Details To Be Announced
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.
