Supercharge your privacy knowledge and network in just two days

The IAPP Asia Privacy Forum is Asia’s premier event in privacy. This year’s edition features a distinguished lineup of expert speakers on the keynote stage and in breakout sessions sharing global and regional privacy perspectives. They will offer their insights on a wide variety of critical topics in the region, along with practical solutions you can implement right away.

Join us in Singapore in July to develop a deeper understanding of the ever-changing regulatory landscape in China, India, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam as well as an awareness of global developments. The Forum will also help you stay informed on issues affecting your own privacy operation including AI governance, cross-border data transfers, data sovereignty, privacy-enhancing technologies and complying with China’s PIPL law.

In addition to helping advance your career as a privacy thought leader, this conference can help you build your network while sharing ideas and best practices with hundreds of engaged privacy pros.

The Forum is operating in conjunction with Singapore’s Personal Data Protection (PDP) Week 2024, held by the Personal Data Protection Commission. PDP Week begins with its flagship seminar, followed by two days of the Asia Privacy Forum, and a suite of workshops and deep-dive sessions. The week will provide insight into the latest developments in data technologies and how accountable practices can promote business growth. Click here to see the full program.
