Keynote speakers
The uncontested ‘Queen of Classics,’ Mary Beard examines modern notions of privacy by diving into the everyday challenges to privacy in the Roman world for citizens both famous and ordinary.
John Edwards will speak on the continued work of the Information Commissioner’s Office, empowering people to confidently share their information to use the products and services that drive our economy and society, and empowering companies to use information responsibly and confidently to invest and innovate.
In her new book, “Strangers and Intimates: The Rise and Fall of Private Life,” acclaimed cultural historian Tiffany Jenkins asks the timely question: Can private life survive the demands of the twenty first century?
