Tech & Sourcing Webinar Series: Data 2025

Join us for Data 2025, a series of Tech & Sourcing webinars in which our lawyers will consider the key global challenges facing businesses in their use of data. As digital innovation progresses rapidly, and with the surge in business take-up of artificial intelligence, data-related issues are growing at almost the same pace as the generation of new data itself. Each webinar session will consider key aspects of data generation, storage, processing, and handling and cybersecurity and resiliency.

The series has been designed to provide attendees with a comprehensive oversight of global data-related issues that are currently top of mind, including the impact of AI on data generation and storage, the latest on data regulations, the growing need for cloud and collocation arrangements, and cybersecurity and resiliency issues.

For questions, please contact Ryan Signora.
