Now more than ever, businesses have the opportunity to leverage technology solutions – like generative AI – to create efficiencies, enhance service offerings and streamline operations. Businesses that fail to do so are struggling to keep up, but embracing innovation also means additional risk, including exposure to data breaches, disputes or litigation, reputational damage and financial harm.
At the third annual MLT Aikins IP and Technology Conference, you’ll get practical, business-minded advice on how to proactively identify and manage the risks associated with embracing technology solutions in order to set your team and organization on a path to success. With a view to identifying the risks and opportunities for both customers and providers of technology solutions, including two streams of breakout sessions tailored specifically to contracting for technology solution as a customer vs. service provider, this conference is ideal for chief risk officers, chief technology officers and other c-suite and senior leaders, in-house legal counsel, IT managers and contract managers.
This full-day, in-person event includes breakfast and lunch. An interactive, real-time webinar option will be available for remote attendees.
