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.
As more human interactions move online and the amount and variety of information shared digitally continues to grow, decisions regarding the collection, sharing, and use of this data must take into account both ethical and privacy considerations. It is important that industry and academia come together to find joint solutions for making these difficult decisions regarding privacy and ethics to maximize the benefits of data-driven research and practices, while ensuring that harms and negative outcomes are prevented. To bridge communication between these communities, we are organizing a workshop for thought leaders from academia, industry and civil societyto identify common goals, establish a long-term vision, and initiate working teams for tangible projects focused on responsible research ethics and privacy practices around user data. The workshop will kick-off with a keynote from Facebook’s Deputy Chief Privacy Officer, Rob Sherman, and a panel discussion from our advisory board members.
Workshop Organizers: Xinru Page, Bentley University; Pamela Wisniewski, University of Central Florida; Margaret Honda, Future of Privacy Forum, Jen Romano-Bergstrom, Instagram and President of the UXPA (User Experience Professionals Association); Sona Makker, Facebook; Norberto Andrade, Facebook
Advisory Board Members: Chris Clifton, Purdue University; Lorrie Cranor, Carnegie Mellon University, Director CyLab Usable Privacy and Security Laboratory; Lauri Kanerva, Facebook, Research Management Lead; Helen Nissenbaum, Cornell Tech and New York University; Jules Polonetsky, Future of Privacy Forum, Chief Executive Officer (full board to be finalized soon)
When: November 2 – 3, 2017
Location: Facebook Offices, 770 Broadway, New York, NY

Abstract: The election of Donald Trump is widely expected to bring a dramatic retreat from Obama administration support for privacy regulation at the federal level. Republican commissioners on the Federal Communications Commission have already indicated their intention to pursue reversal of many Obama administration policies and last April the President signed legislation repealing the FCC privacy rule. With such changes underway, state and local regulators, particularly those in populous “blue” states, such as New York, California and Washington, are poised to take on an increasingly important role. Recent local initiatives include draft ordinances that require local police departments to publish surveillance impact reports describing the capabilities and safeguards of powerful new surveillance technologies as a condition of deploying them. City officials are also paying more attention to the data privacy implications of smart city initiatives. At the state-level, officials are resisting requests by the Trump administration to access state voter registration databases. Academic experts on administrative law, privacy, federalism, and local governance will be joined by policymakers, industry representatives and privacy advocates to present and discuss a variety of perspectives on the legal, empirical and policy implications of this trend toward “privacy localism.”

There is more to “privacy by design” than process and policy. There’s also, well, design.
How do organizations develop user experiences and interfaces that communicate privacy and data protection choices and allow for consent management? Further, how can organizations increase user understanding?
To tackle some of data protection’s stickiest issues, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and partners are bringing together technologists, designers, policy experts, and regulators to participate in a Privacy Design Lab. Participants will create new solutions that address the technological, policy, and legal questions arising around privacy. The focus for this event will be privacy by design and consent management.
Special thanks to our local partners: Legal Hackers Brussels and DigitYser
We hope you can join us to create innovative solutions to dealing with consent management. Please register as a participant under one of our two categories based on your policy or technology expertise. Please contact Kara Sutton, [email protected] if you have any questions.

The 2017 Symposium, titled AI Ethics: The Privacy Challenge, will focus on developing ideas that address the ethical challenges associated with the new capabilities Artificial Intelligence technologies present for democratic institutions, human autonomy, and the social fabric of our society. This academic workshop will discuss ways to harness the power of AI and machine learning to better protect individuals’ privacy and security, helping consumers to navigate complex sociotechnical architectures in smart cities and homes, transportation systems, financial transactions, and content platforms. Papers are expected to address areas such as algorithmic due process and accountability, fairness and equity in automated decision making, societal implications of autonomous experimentation and leveraging AI to enhance privacy.
