California’s Momentous New Privacy Law in Focus

Already changing the direction of U.S. privacy practice, California’s new Consumer Privacy Act (CaCPA) is the focus of day-long workshop and a keynote address at Privacy. Security. Risk 2018. Join a lineup of top California privacy experts and Alastair Mactaggart, the activist who spurred CaCPA’s passage, for the first major discussion of the transformative law at an industry event.

Mounting Momentum in the Push for Privacy-Technology Balance

What combination of technology, best practices, policies and regulations promotes growth and innovation without sacrificing privacy? Join the IAPP and your peers in privacy and information security at Privacy. Security. Risk. 2018 in Austin, Texas to work toward an answer.

Business, government, education and healthcare are just starting to tap the potential of transformative technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things. But they need public acceptance of new uses for personal data before weaving these new technologies into everyday life. Privacy and information security professionals working together can build confidence that 21st century data analytics and privacy can live together to advance society on every level. P.S.R. is the place to do it.

The momentum toward finding a common ground between what technology can do and what it should do is mounting. Be in Austin this October and be part of the solution.
