You have the opportunity to submit a proposal to present a topic as a speaker or an idea for a session or workshop that could include a variety of subject matter experts.

Deadline Extended: Monday, 20 May 2024.

Please note the ITechLaw 2024 European Conference (30 October - 1 November 2024 in Munich) is set to be an in-person event. All speakers should feel comfortable speaking in person. Please note that ITechLaw enforces the speaker policy in place when considering proposal submissions.

  • A speaker may not speak at two conferences in a row in a particular geography (e.g. no speaking at two European conferences in a row). Exceptions to this rule may be allowed.
  • Planning Committee members may not act as speakers or moderators. Speakers from their firms are permissible.
  • Only one representative per firm is allowed to speak at the conference.
  • ITechLaw does not pay speaking fees to any speaker. Exceptions may apply.
  • Speakers receive a discounted rate to the member registration rate to attend the full conference. An exception is made for academic/government/in-house counsels who may attend complimentarily.

Please note that not all proposals will be accepted. Decisions on all proposals will be made by August 2024. Please only submit a proposal if you are available to attend the conference - please save the dates (30 October - 1 November 2024). When considering a proposal and curating panels, ITechLaw is conscious of diversifying the panels to represent a global perspective, inclusivity of genders, and limiting one speaker per firm/organization.
