World Law Forum Conference on Digital Legacy

In a world where digital identities outlive their owners, the World Law Forum convenes leading legal experts, AI ethicists, regulators, and technologists to confront one of the 21st century’s most pressing legal and moral dilemmas: What becomes of our digital selves after death?

Our aim is to pioneer multidimensional dialogue on how data, emerging technologies, and digital identities intersect with global law and ethics. Rooted in Berlin’s position as the heart of EU policy and innovation, this conference offers a distinct platform to shape the future of posthumous data governance, AI-generated afterlives, and cross‑border digital inheritance.

This event is designed for policymakers, legal practitioners, technologists, academics, and cultural experts interested in the evolving theory and practice of digital legacy in a digitized world.
