WICKLOW HALL 2B, LEVEL 2 Insuring liabilities in cyberspace (the screams can be heard): cloud computing and social media Joint session with the Insurance Committee and the Technology Law Committee. Moderators Dolores Sancha Bartolome & Briones, Barcelona, Spain; Vice-Chair, Insurance Committee David Yates Al Tamimi & Company, Dubai, UAE; Chair, Corporate Information Governance Subcommittee Social media and cloud computing are rapidly growing phenomena in the corporate landscape and have started to redefine how enterprises conduct business, in particular marketing their image and distributing their products. These new technologies raise their own set of concerns, including issues relating to privacy and data protection. There has been much interest in the insurance industry regarding the liabilities potentially associated with the introduction of these technologies and the coverage of these risks. Moreover, from the perspective of a technology consumer, the insurance industry has been no exception to this technology trend. The insurance industry is also utilising these technologies to drive down costs and open new marketing channels. This session explores the impact of social media and cloud computing upon the insurance industry from all perspectives. It commences with an overview of what are cloud computing and social media, and how they are employed in the corporate world, including by insurance companies. Part of this analysis involves identifying the legal and commercial risks associated with these technologies. Given the inherent global nature of these technologies, these risks frequently invoke significant cross-border issues. The session then explores different products developed by the insurance industry to cover such risks as well as to clarify coverage, terms and conditions and exclusions. Finally, the topic of claim management relating to these technologies will be examined.

LIFFEY HALL 1, LEVEL 1 Round the tables – breakfast and a taste of hot topics in the Intellectual Property, Communications and Technology Section Presented by the Intellectual Property, Communications and Technology Section. Sponsoring section committees: Art, Cultural Institutions and Heritage Law, Communications Law, Intellectual Property and Entertainment Law, Media Law, Space Law, and Technology Law. Session Co-Chairs William Bunker Knobbe Martens, Irvine, California, USA; Co-Chair, Intellectual Property and Entertainment Law Committee Erik Valgaeren Stibbe, Brussels, Belgium; Co-Chair, Technology Law Committee This always very dynamic and well-attended session enables you to select from a menu of hot topics in the IP, communications, media and technology sectors and participate in roundtable discussions. The format is interactive and the topics are selected to ensure that they are of current interest and likely to stimulate a lively debate. Moderators on each table introduce the table topic and the participants do the rest. Background knowledge or experience within areas for discussion is not required. You will have the opportunity to discuss three or four topics at scheduled turnover times as the participants move around the tables to the next topic of their choosing. The opportunities for networking are almost endless! Our menu will include tasters for some of the section’s sessions later in the week, as well as ‘late breaking’ topics. The session topics in Dublin will include a premium selection of the latest developments in intellectual property law, internet law and mobile technologies (including cloud computing, social media and mobile marketplaces), technology contracting and dispute resolution, arts law and space tourism. Discussion is usually around the interface of law, business and technology, with a global focus. Participants may volunteer to act as table topic ‘rapporteur’. Rapporteurs will be invited to draw up a brief note on the issues discussed at their table and their combined notes will be published in our leading legal periodical ‘Convergence’. In addition, a ‘degustation’ breakfast buffet will be hosted in the room so that no time is wasted for those who want to boost their energy levels prior to or during the session. The session will provide you with a great opportunity to meet many other lawyers and to discuss topics of mutual interest with them – don’t forget your business cards. We welcome new participants in these discussions. Through our ‘tasters’ for the section’s sessions, we assist you in planning possible participation in these sessions and the social activities of the section’s committees throughout the week in Dublin and beyond. We will also be soliciting your views about your areas of interest and other suggestions, to enable the section to programme future activities accordingly.
