ABOUTTHE ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM

The theme for the 2019 symposium is “Innovation & The Internet of Things”.

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the use of intelligently connected devices and systems to harness data gathered by embedded sensors and actuators in machines and other objects. IoT describes a system where items in the physical world, and sensors within or attached to these items, are connected to the Internet via wireless and wired Internet connections. These sensors can use various types of local area connections such as RFID, NFC, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Zigbee. Sensors can also have wide area connectivity such as GSM, GPRS, 3G, and LTE [3]. At the core of IoT is aggregated data that can be used to improve all facets of life.

The 2 day Symposium (24th-25th October) will look at the latest IP rights within the Internet of Things and covering the impact it has on Innovation and development. Discussants will cover areas in Pharmaceutical, Big Data, Telecoms, ISPs, Banking, Insurance, Government, Energy and Automotive. The proliferation of the internet has ushered in an age where we are all dependent on technol-ogy to carry out even the most minute of tasks. Consequently, industrialization has grown at a tremendous rate and with it, concerns about climate change and depletion of resources that are used to make these products.

It is thus important to have discussions on how to use technology and innovation for good & in a sustainable manner. Confronting these challenges requires political will as well as a new approach to utilize innovative technology not only for economic development but for the good of the human race.

The Internet of Things (IoT) essentially brings together advanced software with sensors and other end-devices on a communications network and if used the right way, can lead to a better & transformed Uganda, Africa & the world.

ABOUT | Attorney General Alliance – AGA

Based in the United States, the Attorney General Alliance – AGA began as bipartisan group comprising of chief legal officers of 15 western states and three Pacific territories.

The Attorney General Alliance – AGA has expanded beyond its original regional designation to count all US states as participants, with the ability to draw on the expertise and involvement of over 2000 legal professionals consisting of attorneys general, prosecu-tors, law enforcement officers and subject matter experts.

Improving the Quality of Legal ServicesAGA’s primary function is to provide a forum for legal officers to cultivate knowledge, co-operate on issues of legal concerns and coordinate actions which improve the quality of legal services available to different institutions.

AGA provides and supports:

Challenging Cross Border CrimeTransnational crimes, such as human trafficking, trafficking in firearms, drug trafficking, money laundering, child pornography, internet crimes, and corruption do not respect borders, laws, or people. Addressing these crimes comprehensively, swiftly, and effectively is required to give meaning to justice, the rule of law and respect for human rights.

ABOUT | AGA Africa AlliancePartnership – AGA-AAPEstablished in 2016, The AGA Africa Alliance Partnership seeks to establish and foster robust relationships with justice and law enforcement agencies and officials throughout Africa to support the rule of law and combat transnational criminal activity.

AGA Alliance Partnership programmes focus on such initiatives as reinforcing court systems with greater efficiency and transparency; running training programs that promote a consistent application of Rule of Law disciplines, such as oral advocacy; and promoting collaboration among attorneys general from partner countries.

The AGA Africa Alliance Partnership is currently working with justice departments, and law enforcement bodies such as the Office of the Attorney General, Departments of Public Prosecution, the Police, academ-ic bodies and other organisations in several African Countries including, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Rwanda, Uganda, Senegal, South Africa, and Zambia:
