Europe Data Protection Congress, 9-10 November 2016 

What

Europe's new privacy reality will take centre-stage at this year’s Europe Data Protection Congress where a strong focus will be put on the GDPR, the new Privacy Shield, and the recasting of the e-Privacy Directive. The two-day Congress organised by IAPP will gather high-level speakers including business representatives, policy makers, regulators and privacy experts from both sides of the Atlantic to discuss and share insights on challenges and opportunities emerging from the new regulatory environment. For the first time ever, the IAPP hosts a discussion between the heads of the Federal Trade Commission, the Article 29 Working Party and the European Data Protection Supervisor on the Data Protection.

A wide range of privacy topics and angles will be covered in more than 30 sessions including:

  • The GDPR: How will organisations and companies address and operationalise the new requirements and obligations?  What are the key impacts for multinational organisations?
  • The Privacy Shield: What is the impact on European and US businesses? What opportunities and uncertainties it creates?
  • e-Privacy Directive: What is the impact on business? What are the proposed amendments about?
  • Brexit: What Brexit means for current privacy operations and what data protection in the UK might look like in two years?
  • Data Protection Officer: GDPR makes the DPO role mandatory: how to craft the role for different organisations and manage the new responsibilities?
