About the LegisTech: The Commonwealth Community of Parliaments
The opening Bússola Tech conference in 2023 is focused on the Commonwealth Community of Parliaments and Subnational Legislatures, bringing the discussion about the legislative modernisation and digital transformation.
The Commonwealth community of Legislatures is a diverse group of institutions that at the same time hold many institutional similarities, enabling further opportunities for institutional cooperation.
The conference will take place virtually, between January 23rd and 24th, and it will be divided between Case presentations and Thematic Panel discussions.
We are glad to invite the legislative community to participate in this event, considering the importance of the inter-parliamentary cooperation between the institutions and their peers and the amount of experience and new learnings that will be shared through debates and case presentations.
This event is exclusive to the national and subnational legislatures, their civil servants, parliamentary staff and MPs. Interested audience can pre-subscribe to receive the attendees invitation.
