The "right to privacy" is a human right.

And yet it is becoming increasingly difficult to protect this privacy. For deliberately as well as unintentionally we leave behind "digital tracks". Ever new technological advances are also being used to gather more and more accurate data about us. These "digital footprints" can help us to discover something new or to understand ourselves and our environment better. They have an impact on our daily lives, our health, our cohabitation and our social fabric. But they also serve as a decision-making base on whether we get a job, an education or a loan or not. And the data stored about us has an impact on future generations, even beyond our demise.

The PrivacyWeek seeks and provides answers to the questions that are becoming ever more important for us as individuals and our society. An extraordinary conference and workshop week in Vienna. For those with whom their privacy is important.

From 23rd to 29th October, the PrivacyWeek is particularly concerned with the data and data traces that we leave online and offline. Data providers, BigData, anonymisation of data, tracking as well as analysis and evaluation of user data.

Find out what data companies are storing about you, how they evaluate them, and how to deal with the ever-increasing amount of data others are collecting about you. Numerous lectures and workshops with international experts provide you with knowledge as well as practical tips. A whole week of concentrated information!

In addition to our broad-based program, there are 3 focus days this year with the focus on special target groups: journalists, programmers and educators.

You can find a first impression of the planned program here.

At other conferences, you often only have lectures, which are partly made up of product and company presentations.
The PrivacyWeek offers more:

No product or company presentations.
Workshops, in order to put the learned knowledge into practice.
Discussion and questioning.
"Ask the Experts". After a series of short impulses, you have the opportunity to deepen your knowledge in a small group.
An interactive exhibition will show you the data lanes you leave online.
Streaming of selected lectures, which will also be available after the PrivacyWeek.

This year, too, we will be able to present a series of high-caliber lecturers. In nearly 100 individual events, we provide you with first-class information on the subject of "privacy in the digital age". No sales pitches, no product presentations - but high-quality lectures and workshops. We are still expanding our program.

Tickets for the PrivacyWeek are now available.

Online in advance until 15.10.2017 with transfer or credit card.
Or (in the sense of anonymous participation) in the cash sale on the spot.

The Executive Women’s Forum Annual Conference provides the most comprehensive and unbiased overview of the current industry landscape for women executive business decision-makers.

The Executive Women’s Forum (EWF) Annual Conference provides an exclusive opportunity to personally interact with more than 400 global thought leaders in the fields of Information Security, Risk Management and Privacy. During this three-day event, members collaborate on round-table exercises, incident simulations, panel discussions and working groups. Exposure to new ideas and approaches, best practice management of everyday issues and learning from observing the best and the brightest is an excellent and abundant return on investment.

Join us again this year for yet another thought provoking week in London at Biometrics Week 2017. This year offers a two-day Congress on the 1-2 November 2017, accompanied by satellite events on either side (31 October and 3 November). We currently have representatives from 30 nations registered to attend!

Please note that for the opening plenary sessions on both days, we will be live streaming the proceedings from the Cinema Hall to the Downer Room to allow maximum participation in the event. We have had such tremendous interest from our global membership and this streaming will allow access to the critical discussions to so many more people. Delegates in the Downer Room will be able to submit questions to the speakers to actively participate in the discussion. We thank the Australian High Commission for making this opportunity available.
For most of the two days there will be sessions running in both rooms and no need for streaming.

This week also includes the Biometrics Institute Annual Evening Reception to be held on Wednesday, 1 November 2017 from 5.30pm, an annual event not to be missed.
