The State of the Net Conference is organized by the Internet Education Foundation (IEF), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. IEF is neither a trade association nor an industry advocacy group. It blends all Internet stakeholders (academics, consumer groups, industry, think tanks) together with government stakeholders around the common cause of assuring informed Internet policymaking. Our program demands only that stakeholders debate Internet policy issues seriously and in good faith while always putting the health of the Internet first and foremost.
Attendees, please use the Freedom Forum entrance on 6th Street.
The Data Privacy & Security Summit is your complete and essential roadmap to implementing the GDPR, harmonizing your global privacy program and preparing to protect against cyber threats. This is an especially unique summit as it allows you to gain real take-aways from your peers with the limited presence of vendors.
After successful Privacy & Data Protection Officers Summits in London and Paris, we are happy to be running an event focused on the challenges of the US. In London and Paris, privacy officers gained practical strategies for GDPR implementation from in-house privacy professionals, regulators and from their peers.
The new regulation puts increased responsibility on privacy and information security professionals. Depending on the size and scope of your organization, the role of the privacy officer can vary; in some cases the privacy officer role covers a diverse range of responsibilities beyond data privacy and in other instances, the role focuses on the security elements of the organization.
With this in mind, this summit allows you to hear from your privacy peers both from the US and EU, to find out where they are in the process and to gain valuable and practical guidance, solutions and key strategies on ensuring your privacy program is compliant.
Only 4 months out from when all companies must be GDPR compliant, you won’t want to miss your opportunity to benchmark privacy and security strategies with your peers.
- Benchmarking Key Strategies with Your Privacy Peers. Gain insight in an intimate learning environment with limited presence from vendors and consultants.
- Understanding How the GDPR Will Change the Way You Do Business. Regulators and privacy professionals will break down what the regulation actually means and which areas you should be focusing on to ensure compliance.
- Apply Lessons Learned from Recent Cyber Attacks. Learning how effective risk assessment can lead to a strong cyber security program.
- Harmonizing Your Global Privacy Program. We’re taking a closer look at what some of the most successful CPOs are doing to create a globally harmonized privacy program.
