Beyond Compliance Theater: Bridging Legislation, Enforcement and Implementation

Natural tension between innovation and regulation, compliance and data-driven growth can make it challenging for regulators and privacy teams to find common ground. Hear from a state regulator, lawmaker and CPO as they debate key privacy topics and uncover overlapping concerns about consumer trust, economic growth and enforcement priorities. The conversation will offer actionable insights on how privacy professionals can better communicate with regulators and policymakers to advance data privacy.

What you will learn: 

• Privacy looks very different depending on your seat at the table: drafting statutes, enforcing them, and making them work inside complex organizations. Hear debate between a policymaker, a regulator, and a CPO debate to gain insight into where their concerns and priorities overlap.

• Proven communication techniques for managing regulatory dialogue: how to enter meetings with a clear and compelling narrative, align on intent before digging into the details, and reframe points of disagreement into opportunities for compromise and collaboration. 
• An inside look at actual enforcement priorities from Minnesota and California to benchmark your own privacy program, identify where regulators are focusing (AI governance, vendor management, data rights), and close gaps before they become regulator inquiries.
