Is there really a conflict between regulatory compliance, business efficiency, and innovation? We will try to find a way to comply with compliance requirements while it is also economically beneficial. Where does dialogue fit into business processes to avoid having to redesign them later for compliance?
From corporate strategy development to market entry with a new product and brand building, a key fundamental issue is the appearance of the compliance-by-design principle, meaning the integration of compliance considerations from the very first step of the planning process.
The operation and infrastructure of digitalisation and innovative technologies also pose an increasing security risk. How should data security and cybersecurity considerations be taken into account from the outset in the planning of digital projects?

June 2025 will be a milestone in creating accessibility in the digital space. Accessibility in the digital economy is not just a disability issue, as businesses that do not consider inclusive design principles could lose one in every three of their customers.
What (compliance tech) tools can help with compliance in digital marketing? What should we pay attention to when creating marketing content? What specific data management issues should we prepare for if we want to implement new elements of digital marketing in practice?
11:10 - 11:25
Digital Accessibility – It Is Not Only Important When It Hurts
Both EU and Hungarian regulatory environments require companies to ensure that their digital content service platforms (such as websites and mobile applications) comply with the principles of digital accessibility. What does this regulation cover, and what legal and content-related aspects must be met to ensure compliance? How should companies prepare for the compliance deadline, and what are the potential legal and financial risks of non-compliance?

Case Study: Why Is Accessibility Challenging and Why Is Inclusive Design Beneficial? Even Though the Two Are the Same
Jogtár (Hungarian Legal Database) is more than just a collection of legal regulations — it represents a dimension of access to the law itself. By embracing the challenging first steps of accessibility and opening a window to the diversity of users, the time and energy invested can yield both business and societal returns. The leader of the accessibility project will offer insights into the practical steps of implementation.

The AI Act has entered into force and the compliance phases have begun. However, the end of the road is still far off, as secondary legislation and validated best practices, which would provide concrete content for the provisions of the AI Act, are still lacking.

NetPORT Pub gives professional networking a brand new form. Recognising that we can only navigate the sea of regulation together, we want to provide an unconventional (and hopefully tradition-setting) opportunity for direct dialogue across professional disciplines. In this way, the netPORT initiative aims to provide a port of call for professionals from a wide range of backgrounds.
Taking advantage of the surroundings of Béke Hotel, the closing event will have the informal atmosphere of a harbour pub, where sailors can meet after arrival and before departure to discuss their experiences and questions over a few tasty bites.
The experts of the sessions will be waiting for participants at their regular tables to discuss the regulatory issues they are facing. Naturally, in addition to specific compliance issues, there will be a particular focus on how legal markets are being transformed by technology and technology-based regulation and what this means for competition and competitiveness in legal services. How to use legal tech tools, manage processes and implement compliance requirements securely but efficiently, and what impact this has on the competitiveness of legal service providers in the broad sense.
