Icoolaw 2025

Kec Group invites you to the 4th International Congress of Lawyers, which will be held from March 25 to 29, 2025, at the beautiful Lake Bled in Slovenia.

This year, the Congress will place a special focus on two key topics of modern law – data protection (GDPR) and artificial intelligence (AI). Through expert lectures, workshops, and practical case studies, participants will have the opportunity to deepen their knowledge and exchange experiences with leading experts in the field of law.

The Congress will address the AI Act and its relation to GDPR, best practices of national regulations in various countries, and practices affecting the legal sector, with a particular emphasis on digital transformation and its impact on data privacy. Experts from the region and abroad will share their experiences and insights on the challenges of applying GDPR in an era of rapid technological development. There will also be discussions on the legal implications of artificial intelligence, as well as the opportunities and risks AI brings to the legal sector.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to enhance your knowledge and establish new professional connections at one of the most important legal events in Europe. The Congress gathers the crème de la crème of the legal profession: lawyers from ministries, legal directors in companies and public enterprises, court presidents, prosecutors, and attorneys.

Thus, it represents the best place for networking and establishing business collaborations.

Lectures and Workshops

At this year’s International Congress of Lawyers, special attention will be given to topics of crucial importance for modern legal practice, such as GDPR and the AI Act. Participants will have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the latest regulations and challenges in the processing and management of personal data, especially in the context of artificial intelligence and automated decision-making.

Workshops and panel discussions will provide insight into the practical application of the AI Act in business, as well as the ethical principles that should be adhered to when using artificial intelligence. Through expert lectures, participants will gain specific knowledge on how to successfully implement GDPR and the AI Act into their business processes, with particular focus on the legislative framework and data protection.

Topics such as automated decision-making in compliance with GDPR and the ethical challenges of artificial intelligence will be thoroughly covered, with the aim of providing participants with practical tools and solutions for challenges in their practice. The focus is on real-world problems and their solutions, ensuring the best possible application of regulations in business.

B2B Meetings

B2B meetings (Business-to-Business meetings) are encounters between companies or individuals that offer opportunities for negotiation, planning, collaboration, and other business activities.

At the B2B meetings, all Congress participants will have the opportunity to meet with any speaker or participant of the Congress.

B2B meetings provide a chance to communicate with key legal professionals who might be difficult to reach through traditional methods such as email, phone calls, or letters.

The meetings work by allowing you to choose a Congress participant with whom you wish to meet and discuss potential collaboration. We will confirm the meeting time once the other party agrees to the meeting. All meetings will take place during the Congress.

We are sharing with you a message from a participant of last year’s International Congress of Lawyers, who, during a B2B meeting, met the legal director of a company, leading to a business collaboration after a few months.

“I have to thank you for the opportunity to participate in the B2B meeting, as well as for the excellent execution of the concept. I participated in the B2B meetings at the last Congress, and just recently, my colleague and I officially began a collaboration, which for me personally, as I am at the start of my career, means more than you can imagine. You were the first I thought of, and I am delighted to share this news with you, as you contributed to this success and my motivation. I look forward to seeing you in Bled and to all the new things you have prepared for us!”
