🎤 Just wrapped up a fascinating two days as emcee of .
True story... my freshman year Latin teacher talked me out of pursuing pre-law, when I failed his Latin class. He was right.
Marking TechLawFest's 10th edition, this year’s conference at the Marina Bay Sands brought together over 2,000 attendees from 40+ countries to explore the theme: “Reimagining Legal in the Digital Age.”
From Broadway-style performances to keynote addresses by Singapore Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon, UK Information Commissioner John Edwards, Singapore Justice Aidan Xu, Eric Chua, Senior Parliamentary Secretary in the Singapore Ministry of Social and Family Development, Singapore (MSF) Family Development and the Ministry of Law, Singapore, Singapore.
There were conversations on how law must evolve with emerging tech... from AI-driven legal practice and crypto regulation to online safety, digital infrastructure, navigating quantum and disruptive tech, and the future of justice systems.
Thank you to the Singapore Academy of Law, Yeong Zee Kin, Joon-Nie Lau, Rebecca S., Steven Wee, Jaselle Lee, Rozelle Joseph for the honour of emceeing. Also, thanks to the many panellists, tech staff and volunteers.
A new and interesting future of legal is being written.

Secretary of Education Linda McMahon last week prompted a collective sigh (and a marketing win!) by confusing "A1" for A.I. during a discussion about technology in schools.
The brand A.1. Sauce brilliantly jumped on this viral moment, quipping, "Every school should have access to A.1.". Their clever Instagram response, featuring an altered bottle labeled "For education purposes only," and got massive attention and positive feedback.
This is a prime example of newsjacking – capitalizing on trending news to amplify a company message and reach a wider audience.
For communication coaches, this highlights the power of being agile and relevant. Imagine if you had offered quick commentary on McMahon's slip-up, discussing the importance of clear communication, especially in public speaking!
Newsjacking is valuable because it can build your thought leadership and connect you to current events.
To maximize impact, think SEO.
What keywords are people searching for related to this story?
Terms like "public speaking bloopers," "communication mistakes," "newsjacking marketing," "social media strategy," and even "A.1. Sauce AI" could have been relevant.
By using these (and other) terms in your social media post, it increases the likelihood of your content being noticed. Good luck on your next newsjack!
