Speaking Has Its Benefits

The world’s premier privacy and data protection conference focuses on international topics, policy and strategy. Recognized as a leading forum for discussion, the Summit features expert speakers and top regulators, and delivers unmatched education and networking opportunities.
Over 4,000 attendees made their way to Washington, D.C. for the first return of the IAPP Global Privacy Summit since 2019. They enjoyed four days of highly anticipated networking and privacy education, where critical topics such as privacy in technology, cross-border data flow, the future of third-party cookies and the prospect of a U.S. national privacy law were discussed. Through many breakout and active learning sessions, they were exposed to the latest groundbreaking developments in privacy and data protection and discovered new solutions and best practices to implement into their own privacy operations.
IAPP’s best Summit yet kicked off a night early on Monday, April 11 with an Opening General Session featuring bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell; Amy Gajda, author of “Seek and Hide” and Chair of the Federal Trade Commission, Lina M. Khan in her first public address.
The next day’s general session made national news when Apple’s CEO Tim Cook took the stage to discuss why “protecting privacy is one of the most essential battles of our time.” His headline keynote address was followed by Zahra Mosawi, the former Commissioner of Access to Information Commission of Afghanistan. Mosawi spoke about her experience working to establish freedom of expression and information rights for the Afghan people. European Commissioner of Justice Didier Reynders finished the morning’s session discussing his work promoting Europe’s fundamental right to personal data protection in his pre-recorded address.
On the final day of Summit 2022, Microsoft President and Vice Chair Brad Smith shared his perspective on the responsibilities the tech sector must adopt plus the role of governments in keeping pace with challenges created by emerging technologies in the Closing General Session. While historian and award-winning filmmaker David Olusoga presented his research on 19th century epidemiological history and the fascinating origins of when data was first used to extend life. To close the session, The Markup Editor-in-Chief and founder Julia Angwin and The New York Times National Technology Correspondent Cecilia Kang came together for a keynote panel moderated by Koch Distinguished Professor in Law at Washington University, Neil Richards. The two top journalists reporting on technology shared their unique perspectives on data privacy stories that are making headlines today.
Each inspirational keynote session set the tone for the rest of the day’s incredible sessions. See below for more details on the most recent Summit gathering.

“In 2014, when I wrote Dragnet Nation, I thought I was writing this thing that was an over-heated analysis of what could happen.
When I look back at it, I was actually under-paranoid.” —@JuliaAngwin at #GPS22 pic.twitter.com/G8Y9gqMgCe

Senate Commerce Dem aide John Beezer gives his forecast on federal privacy legislation: “Maybe we’ll see something soon… Don’t go on vacation.”
He started this #GPS22 panel saying Senate offices have been in “serious, bipartisan” convos on this for the last six months.

Without warning, memories from #GPS22 keep making me smile.
There’s no medicine quite so powerful as conversations with friends (old and new) even if we only talk about privacy. 😅
So grateful all of us could gather in DC, all the way from…

Three lessons from history from @Gladwell at #GPS22:
1. Be cautious in how you interpret the claims of visionaries.
2. Be humble about what technologies actually do.
3. Be patient in waiting for the real revolution to happen.— Cobun Zweifel-Keegan (@cobun) April 11, 2022

The IAPP’s Summit has proven itself to be the most comprehensive data privacy event on the planet. Here are a few reasons why:
Attendees
Exhibitors
Expert Speakers
Countries
CEO, Apple
Apple CEO Tim Cook believes privacy is a fundamental human right. A tireless advocate for the privacy rights of users, Apple announces new privacy and data security features yearly that help protect consumers. This was Cook’s first appearance at the IAPP, and an opportunity to hear his thoughts on the public policy issues informing the privacy landscape.
Author of “Seek and Hide;” Class of 1937 Professor of Law, Tulane University Law School
Amy Gajda’s brand-new book “Seek and Hide: The Tangled History of the Right to Privacy” chronicles the tension in American law and society between individual privacy and the public’s right to know. “Seek and Hide” includes the pivotal 1927 Supreme Court case Olmstead v. United States, in which Justice Louis Brandeis dissented in favor of privacy and against the government’s wiretapping of Roy Olmstead’s phone without a warrant. Justice Brandeis’s reasoning in the Olmstead case helps show the clash between privacy interests and First Amendment interests well before our current technological advancements. The IAPP’s proud display of the original Olmstead telephone at this year’s Global Privacy Summit offered further tangible proof that the history of privacy is profoundly relevant in our contemporary privacy debates.
New York Times Bestselling Author
Six-time New York Times bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell’s newest book, “The Bomber Mafia,” weighed the ethics of deploying well-intended technological innovations with uncharted moral consequences.
Chair of the Federal Trade Commission
In her first public address as FTC Chair, Lina M. Khan discussed the priorities and focus for the Federal Trade Commission.
Ex-Commissioner, Access to Information Commission of Afghanistan
The former commissioner of the Access to Information Commission of Afghanistan spoke about her experience working to establish freedom of expression and information rights for the Afghan people.
Award-Winning Documentary Filmmaker, Historian, Author, Broadcaster
By examining 19th century epidemiological history, David Olusoga explored the fascinating origins of when data was first used to extend life.
European Commissioner for Justice
As the EU’s lead for justice, Reynders ensures the full implementation and enforcement of the GDPR and promotes Europe’s fundamental right to personal data protection becoming a global model. After EU-U.S. officials announced the political agreement of the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework on March 25, Reynders described the “intense negotiations” as the latest step toward replacing the Privacy Shield. He also made it clear that “the work continues” toward having a final agreement in place by year’s end.
President and Vice Chair, Microsoft
Brad Smith leads Microsoft’s Corporate, External and Legal Affairs team, a global team working on the critical issues that lay at the intersection of technology and society. Instead of resisting regulation, Smith urged the tech sector to assume more responsibility and for governments to move faster to address the challenges created by digital technologies.
