DLA Piper is excited to announce that our 8th Global Technology Summit will be held on October 17, 2024 at the Rosewood Sand Hill in Menlo Park, California. This full day experience will bring together high-level professionals consisting of DLA Piper partners, clients, general counsel, and C-level business executives.

This year’s theme, “The Future of Disruption,” provides a platform for our presenters to share key insights on disruptive trends that will propel business forward. Topics include many facets of generative AI, space opportunities and investment, quantum computing, data privacy, the intersection of emerging technologies with national security, and how to mitigate risk in a changing regulatory landscape. We’ll explore these trends and how organizations can best leverage opportunities for success.
