2018 Recap
A Sold-Out Congress Delivered Big Takeaways
As data protection continues to go mainstream, 2019 is sure to be about enforcement—but also about guidance.
Read The Privacy Advisor’s Dispatch from Brussels: GDPR enforcement, guidance to come in 2019.
Privacy and data protection professionals from across the globe packed the SQUARE Brussels Convention Centre for a productive and eye-opening week. For the GDPR-wracked field, this year’s conference was an opportunity to regroup, collaborate, and celebrate a year of hard work.
Hot topics—besides GDPR, of course—included the destabilising uncertainty over Brexit, the future of legitimate interests, the ePrivacy Regulation, artificial intelligence and algorithmic integrity, data breach response in the face of multiple regimes, and the importance of ethics when it comes to privacy by design and the data protection professional’s role in society.
Where Did All the Handouts Go?
All literature handouts will now be provided in digital format instead of paper. You can access them conveniently—before, during or after the conference.
Thought-Provoking Keynotes Wowed and Inspired
Yvette Alberdingk-Thijm
Executive Director, WITNESS
In privacy, transparency is everything. For Alberdingk-Thijm, transparency is also vital for helping to solve human rights abuses and promoting justice.
Woodrow Hartzog
Professor of Law and Computer Science, Northeastern University
With the GDPR, data protection by design has become the law of the land. Hartzog argues, however, that this mandate doesn't go nearly far enough if we truly want to regulate the processing of personal data.
Andrea Jelinek
Chairwoman, European Data Protection Board; Director, Austrian Data Protection Authority
As the new chair of the European Data Protection Board, the world looks to Jelinek for answers on privacy regulation.
Sir Ivan Rogers
Former British Permanent Representative to the EU
As the former permanent representative of the UK to the European Union, few people have a better understanding of current Brexit negotiations and potential outcomes than Rogers.
