2024 Art & Law Conference - Technology Meets the Art World
On 17th September 2024, the Franco-British Lawyers Society successfully held “Technology Meets the Art World”, the latest in the society’s series of art law conferences, chaired by its management committee member Christopher Devereux.
Distinguished speakers from the worlds of art, technology and the law addressed the impact of artificial intelligence and other technology on the art sector, together with the legal implications in the UK and France. The event attracted much interest and positive feedback from the well-attended audience, both
in-person and on-line.
The society gratefully thanks those who gave their time and expertise so generously to ensure the event’s success, particularly all the excellent speakers and law-firm Irwin Mitchell, who so kindly hosted and sponsored the event.
