CodeX FutureLaw 2019 (it’s seventh event) will start up on 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, April 4th with breakfast and registration. The morning food hasalways been good, especially for the attendents who have been flying to Stanford!

As always, the conference is at the Paul Brest Hall at 555 Salvatierra Walk, near to the Stanford Law School (aka SLS).  If you are first-timer, I would suggest that you come a bit early — it’s a big area. Here is a link to help you.

 

At 9:00 a.m. Dr. Roland Vogl will welcome you!  He is the Executive Director of CodeX – The Stanford Center for Legal Informatics; Executive Director of the Stanford Program in Law, Science & Technology; Lecturer in Law, Stanford Law School.

 

 

At 9:15 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. “Opening Keynote: The Future of Community,” will be presented by Dharmishta Rood.

 

Rood’s information: “Dharmishta Rood believes that technology has the capacity to facilitate positive change in the world. At Singularity University she runs the leadership opportunities within the diverse community. These leaders work with SU to convene local participants around the world. Prior to SU, she worked most recently at Code for America, leading programs for companies, including an Accelerator, an incubator and an awards program.”

 

“Before that, she was a Fellow in Psychology at Harvard, a Fellow at MIT Media Lab’s Center for Civic Media, wrote cases, industry reports and researched the Internet at Harvard Business School, and was a researcher at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society. While in Cambridge, she co-founded and co-directed MIT’s festival for entrepreneurs in conjunction with the Trust Center for Entrepreneurship, and started a security consulting non-profit, Securing Change.”
