The IAPP is excited to return to Brussels for the 10th annual gathering of Europe’s #1 data protection conference. Congress 2021 will provide the space for in-person discussions, safe networking and the curated content delegates anticipate year after year.
Join our high-level experts for exclusive discussions on strategic developments in regional and international data privacy. Topics will range from privacy in technology, data transfers, the ‘Schrems II’ decision, data marketing and the continued development of the GDPR. With exclusive session content and more opportunities to connect with data protection authorities, this year’s conference will leave you with insights and operational best practices that can be applied right away.
From evolving enforcement actions to technological advances, this is a chance to keep your operation a step ahead of the changes. Make sure you are in on the conversation.
Keynote Speakers
Helen Dixon
Commissioner, Data Protection Commission
Helen Dixon takes us on a whistle-stop tour through several key developments in EU data protection regulation over the last 3 years and will seek to draw conclusions on where progress has been made, and indicate areas for growth.
Dagmar Hovestädt
Head of Communication and Research, Federal Archives - Stasi Records Archive
Dagmar Hovestädt is a steward of the Stasi Records Archive, which chronicles human rights violations that occurred in the former East German Democratic Republic, perpetrated by secret police and elected officials. The Archive, conquered during the Peaceful Revolution of 1989, catalogues the power of surveillance, while acting as a tool for justice and remembrance. It also presents fascinating parallels to data collection and its handling and relationship to human rights today.
