At the Congress
You’ve heard about the GDPR, you’ve talked about the GDPR, now you’re ready to do something about the GDPR.
The IAPP European Data Protection Congress 2017 takes a solution-focused approach with GDPR-oriented programming to help you devise and execute a compliance strategy.
At the same time, we’ll keep you up-to-date on other key privacy issues. Non-GDPR sessions will address privacy by design, a fresh look at privacy impact statements, data breach bootcamp, mHealth, Privacy Shield, big data, profiling, data retention policies and more.

As the public policy debate about government surveillance rages, Hubertus Knabe offers the perspective of history as he explores the methods of the East German Stasi and recalls his own attempts to smuggle banned books into East Germany.
Marju Lauristin
MEP, Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats
All eyes will be on MEP Lauristin as she serves as rapporteur for the EU's new ePrivacy Regulation, which some people think will have more impact than the GDPR.
Jon Ronson
Writer, Broadcaster, Journalist, Documentary Filmmaker
A humorist, sci-fi author, and journalist, Ronson tapped into the anxieties of social media with So You've Been Publicly Shamed, examining the hive mind that descends to scold those who make mistakes in public.
Christoph Wachter & Mathias Jud
Artists
What happens when the watched watch back? Artists Wachter and Jud have the answer, following an installation that opened up a dialogue with the world’s largest intelligence agencies.
