About the Forum
The LegisTech Forum - 4th Edition, organised by Bússola Tech, is scheduled for the International Week for Democracy, from 11th to 15th September. This virtual conference will span 50 hours, focusing on the achievements and continuous efforts of Parliaments and Subnational Legislatures in the fields of modernisation and digital transformation.
Emphasizing the innovations in Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications in parliamentary operations, this edition will explore the integration and impact of AI within legislative processes. Discussions will provide granular-level insights into AI tools, exploring various aspects of legislative functions and governance.
Additional panels will cover a wide range of subjects such as data governance and ownership in parliaments, democratic governance in the leadership of parliaments, interparliamentary cooperation for the promotion of democratic governance, ensuring adequate funding for parliamentary modernisation, interfacing the rules of procedure and the modernisation strategy in parliaments, multisector public engagement strategies, integration of mismatched systems, transforming parliamentary operations through requests management, and parliamentary offices' friendly interface. Together, these discussions will serve as a comprehensive exploration of current trends and challenges in the parliamentary landscape.
The LegisTech Forum - 4th Edition is more than a conference; it's a global platform that exemplifies the tenacity and innovation of legislative institutions. A testament to the collaboration and shared vision propelling the continuous advancement and transformation of legislative bodies across the world.Programme
