About the Event
Essential Cybersecurity, Privacy, and AI Law is a one-day conference hosted by UT Law CLE that examines the legal and regulatory landscape across three converging practice areas. The program combines expert-led sessions, panel discussions and hands-on exercises to address compliance requirements, enforcement trends and operational challenges facing legal professionals.
The conference is offered in a hybrid format, with in-person sessions held at the AT&T Conference Center in Austin, Texas, alongside a live webcast for remote participants. Debevoise & Plimpton and Haynes Boone serve as law firm sponsors.
Cybersecurity Litigation and Enforcement
The program covers recent developments in cybersecurity litigation and regulatory enforcement. Sessions examine the Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act (CIRCIA), amendments to Reg S-P and the SEC Cybersecurity Disclosure Rule. Attendees will explore how these regulations affect disclosure obligations, incident reporting timelines and compliance frameworks.
A tabletop exercise provides participants with practical experience in cyber incident response, allowing legal teams to work through breach scenarios and decision-making processes in a structured environment.
Privacy Law and Enforcement Trends
Privacy sessions focus on litigation and enforcement activity, with particular attention to the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act. The program addresses biometric data requirements and online tracking practices, examining how state-level privacy laws create compliance obligations for organisations operating across multiple jurisdictions.
AI Governance and Contracting
The conference dedicates sessions to AI regulation and governance, including the legal risks associated with AI adoption. Specific topics include AI procurement, contracting considerations and supply chain risk management. These sessions address how organisations can structure vendor agreements and assess third-party AI tools while managing legal exposure.
Cybersecurity Insurance
The program includes coverage of cybersecurity insurance, examining policy structures and coverage considerations relevant to data breaches and cyber incidents.
Who Should Attend
The conference is designed for attorneys, in-house counsel, compliance officers and legal advisors working in law firms, corporations and regulated industries. Relevant roles include General Counsel, Chief Privacy Officer, Chief Information Security Officer and Compliance Manager, as well as legal professionals advising clients on technology, privacy and cybersecurity matters.
