About the Section
Creating content and connection for professionals in privacy and technology
The IAPP Privacy Engineering Section brings together privacy professionals working in the IT and privacy engineering fields within our member community. Similar to the IAPP Privacy Bar Section, the Privacy Engineering Section offers a range of programs, events, content and networking opportunities through which privacy pros working in IT and related fields can connect and advance.
Our most-recent Privacy Engineering Section Forum was held on May 1 in Washington, DC, alongside the Global Privacy Summit 2019 event. The forum focused on the ever-closer connection between people, privacy and technology. Breakout sessions and speakers examined the nuts-and-bolts of integrating privacy management and product development.
The forums are designed by the IAPP Privacy Engineering Section Advisory Board, which is comprised of academics, government and industry experts in privacy engineering and technology. Advisory Board members help develop the section itself, providing strategic input and driving content for its programs and activities. See all advisory boards.
