Predicting the evolving landscape was the focal point for 2022

Congress helped delegates get ahead of the latest regulation changes in Europe

Europe’s #1 gathering of data protection professionals returned for its 11th year in Brussels. As the place to gain insights and operational best practices, delegates also benefitted from the opportunity to network with peers and benchmark their data privacy programmes.

The large roster of high-profile experts led discussions on strategic developments in regional and international data privacy. “Schrems II” and artificial intelligence were popular topics among discussions. Speakers also addressed policy and governance, ePrivacy implementation, GDPR enforcement, mergers and acquisitions and privacy in technology.

See the social media highlights and gallery below. Then mark your agenda to join us next year in Brussels.
