 About TechLaw.Fest 2026


As new realities reshape the legal landscape, TechLaw.Fest — Asia’s premier law-and-technology event—continues to lead conversations on the evolution of law and legal services in the digital age.


Returning for its 11th edition, TechLaw.Fest 2026 marks a milestone year as it coincides with Singapore’s bicentennial of its modern legal system, established with the introduction of English common law in 1826.


Bringing together over 2,000 participants from more than 30 countries, the event convenes legal professionals, technologists, policymakers and academics to exchange ideas, spark collaboration and shape the future of technology law and digital transformation.


The Rule of Law in the Digital Age frames this year’s theme, examining how core principles of fairness, accountability and access to justice can be upheld amid rapid technological change.


TechLaw.Fest - it is where the Law of Tech meets the Tech of Law. Join us to find out how the practice of law and delivery of legal services will evolve and transform between East and West!
