The 23rd annual installment of the British and Irish Law, Education, and Technology Association (BILETA) conference will take place at Glasgow Caledonian University with the theme “Law Shaping Technology; Technology Shaping the Law”. The conference has an extended call for pape — due by 15 February(PDF). Keynotes are Prof David Wall (Leeds) and David Flint (MacRoberts). One of the things that I have a personal interest in and pushed for at this conference — an open access panel — will also be happening.

The conference theme has a very Web2.0 feel:

“Security and privacy of our personal information is becoming a central theme with the rise in social networking technologies and user generated content. Have sites such as Facebook and YouTube responded in a timely and effective manner to safeguard our data, whilst promoting our rights to free speech.

Technology to combat crime, and technology used to assist in crime will also be a central theme of the conference.”
