International Malaysia Law Conference (26 to 28 Sept 2012): Latest Info

Thursday, 24 May 2012 08:03am

Don’t miss what is going to be the best conference in the region! Grab your seat now.

2012 marks the year the Malaysia Law Conference goes global, which is why the theme “Asian Perspectives, Global Viewpoints” was selected to initiate the International Malaysia Law Conference. This conference will explore the impact of law on business, society, and government in the global arena, through keynote addresses, plenary sessions, and inspirational talks featuring globally-renowned speakers and delegates.

The International Malaysia Law Conference 2012 will take place from 26 to 28 September at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Breaking free from the conventional, we welcome the participation of the general public, and especially entrepreneurs and role players, who are invariably stakeholders of the law. Certainly, while the genesis of the conference was law-centric, the issues, challenges, and opportunities of the third millennium are far too important to be left to the privileged few.

Interested in the spheres of law practice management, arbitration, intellectual property, IT and social media, and others? Want to know more about the application of law in the various domains of business and society, and broaden your horizons? Then the International Malaysia Law Conference 2012 is the place to be!

A group discount of 10% is available when five or more individuals from the same organisation register simultaneously.
