Ladies and Gentlemen

It is with great pleasure that I extend an invitation to you for the upcoming International Conference, the second edition of this important event. This event is being orchestrated by the Legal Tech Committee of the Gdańsk Bar Association of Attorneys-at-Law in collaboration with the European Association of Lawyers. The focal point of our discussions will be the legal and business implications of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, alongside the challenges they pose to both businesses and legal professionals in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.

We are proud to be hosting the second edition of this conference, a testament to our commitment to fostering insightful discussions around these topics. In light of recent advancements, such as the introduction of tools like ChatGPT, the practice of law and the provision of legal services have seen substantial transformations. We are encountering a new realm of opportunities, as well as novel threats and challenges for us and our clients. The rate of these changes is staggering, prompting the need for ongoing enhancement of our professional skills to stay abreast of these shifts.

Therefore, I wholeheartedly encourage your participation in this critical and timely conference.
