It’s an old adage that journalists write the first draft of history, and historians compose the second. But what happens after that? Now in its second year, “Mistakes Were Made” proposes that getting history wrong is the inevitable precondition of historical research, as each generation of writers explores that gaps and ghosts left by the previous. Turning these insights on the swiftly obsolescing world of computer history, this event gathers emerging scholars challenging traditional technology narratives, and pairs them with creative coders, new media artists, tech innovators, and other members of computer culture’s past and present “fringe.”
The Intensive is where the data protection community meets to gain new insight on the top issues and new skills and operational expertise while networking with colleagues and peers from across Europe. Recognised as one of the world’s leading privacy conferences, it offers practical education, distinguished networking and data protection training and certification.

FACETS grew out out of a need for a new type of conference and a new type of conversation. Art, interactive technology, new media and game design are making innovative, beautiful things and are using similar tools and having similar, ground breaking discoveries and conversations but not with each other. What can a game designer learn from the linear mathematics used from procedurally generated music? What can the new media academic teach the creative technologist? How does technology inform storytelling, and how will video game design change cinema? The aim of FACETS is to create a cross disciplinary conference that facilitates conversation, mentorship, innovation, and ideation across these disciplines. We all make amazing things, let’s make them together.
Organized by Caroline Sinders and created by Caroline Sinders, Mohini Freya Dutta, Phoenix Perry, and Jane Friedhoff, FACETS started out of a frustration with a lack of places to discuss interactive art, media, and game design, particularly with talented and underrepresented demographics in STEM.

DATE: WEDNESDAY, JUNE 29, 2016
TIME: 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM (EDT), 7:00 AM – 8:00 AM (PDT), 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM (BST)
Attend this webinar to learn how accountability and compliance can be achieved through a structured approach to privacy management and learn how to use Nymity’s free GDPR Readiness Toolkit that will help you create a GDPR compliance roadmap.
The Free GDPR Readiness Toolkit that you will receive will include:
- Nymity GDPR Readiness Assessment Questions – A customizable MS Excel Spreadsheet that identifies the compliance obligations under the GDPR and provides two sets of questions to ensure privacy management is embedded throughout your organisation: one for the privacy office and one for the operational and business units.
- Nymity GDPR Accountability Annotations – An annotated document that identifies 41 Articles under the GDPR that require evidence to demonstrate compliance and maps them to specific privacy management activities (appropriate technical and organisational measures) that will help organisations know what is in place and what to plan to ensure ongoing compliance and accountability.
The Accountability principle runs through the core of the GDPR. Article 24 requires that organisations implement ‘appropriate technical and organisational measures’ to be able to ‘demonstrate’ their compliance with the Regulation. Nymity’s research has identified 41 Articles (out of the 99 Articles in the GDPR) that need evidence to demonstrate compliance and has mapped these Articles to the Nymity Privacy Management Accountability Framework™.
Knowledge Transfers:
- Understand how a structured approach to privacy management can help your organisation achieve accountability and compliance under the GDPR
- Understand how to use the Nymity GDPR Privacy Management Accountability Annotations resource to identify 54 privacy management activities (out of the 139 in the Nymity Privacy Management Accountability Framework™) that will help your organisation address ongoing compliance under the GDPR and generate the documentation that can be used as evidence
