U.S. Midterm Elections: Impacts for Digital Policy and Transatlantic Relations
Thursday, 19 Nov.
13:15 - 14:15 CET
Intermediate level
Join us just two weeks after the U.S. midterm elections for a conversation on the expected implications for digital policy and the transatlantic relationship. Caitlin Fennessy, IAPP Vice President and Chief Knowledge Officer will be joined by three leaders with deep experience working on tech policy with partners across the Atlantic. Gain their perspectives on the impact of the elections on legislative priorities and prospects as well as bilateral and multilateral engagement on AI, privacy, cybersecurity, online safety and more. Bring your questions.
What you will learn:
• What to expect from the new Congress and administration over the next two years on tech policy.
• How the outcome could affect European legal perspectives regarding AI and other digital policy priorities.
• What will change, what could change and what will remain the same.
