Attention, Starfleet legal officers and esteemed scholars of cyberspace! Welcome to the 2025 Internet Law Works-in-Progress conference, where we boldly go where no Internet law conference has gone before!

The digital frontier is a chaotic Neutral Zoneโ€”AI is evolving faster than Data on an espresso binge, tech giants are amassing power like the Borg, and cybersecurity threats are multiplying like tribbles. The legal framework? Letโ€™s just say weโ€™re one bad ruling away from a full-scale temporal paradox.

This is a true Kobayashi Maruโ€”no easy answers, just high-stakes dilemmas. Will we regulate or be assimilated? Will digital governance bring balance to the Federation, or are we hurtling toward a Ferengi marketplace of unchecked capitalism? Some of you are Kirksโ€”breaking the rules to get results. Some are Spocksโ€”insisting on logic. And some of you are definitely Qโ€”here to stir up chaos just for fun.

But one thing is clear: resistance to this discussion is futile! So, set phasers to engage, prepare for warp-speed discourse, and letโ€™s make this the most illogical conference to miss.

Helm, set course for the first panel. Engage!
