Network at Whatever Time of Day Works Best for You

The Symposium makes it easy to network throughout the conference. Start your day at a networking breakfast, take a seat and join the conversation at a Peer-to-Peer Roundtable, and connect with like-minded privacy pros during industry meet-ups. Make new connections during fast, one-on-one mini meetings at the 5-Minute Mixer and end the day at our conference receptions. At Symposium, we will help you expand your network day and night!
