The Future of Privacy Forum (FPF) and WSGR invite you to a half-day event which focuses on advertising technology — how it works and how to overcome the challenges of complying with global privacy requirements. Use of cookies and similar technologies for advertising and marketing purposes in a legally compliant way has long been a topic of debate, and market practice in this area is constantly evolving in light of technological and legal developments.
Combining their privacy expertise, FPF and WSGR will conduct an Ad Tech Master Class about how ad tech works and continue with a discussion about the latest legal developments applicable to these technologies. Here you will gain a clear understanding of the technologies ranging from cookies and mobile apps to ad networks and real-time bidding. We will also discuss the business models as well as data flows in analytics and ad tech so that you can make informed compliance decisions. Our panelists then will address the latest legal developments that may impact market practices in ad tech, including:
• How the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) affected market practices
• The recent Court of Justice Advocate General Opinions in Planet49 and FashionID
• An update on the e-Privacy Regulation
• The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
• An overview of ongoing discussions about comprehensive federal privacy legislation in the U.S.
We hope to see you there.
PLSC assembles privacy law scholars and practitioners from around the world to discuss current issues and foster greater connections between academia and practice. It brings together privacy law scholars, privacy scholars from other disciplines (economics, philosophy, political science, computer science), and practitioners (industry, legal, advocacy, and government). For more information, see our FAQ.
PLSC is a paper workshop. There are no published proceedings, and after the event, papers are not available. Because authors’ drafts are works in progress, we do not publicly release these writings, nor do we publicize them (no Tweeting, blogging, etc.), as authors’ ideas are often inchoate and need incubation for full development.
At PLSC, papers workshops are led by a “commenter” who facilitates a discussion among participants on an author’s paper. Authors are encouraged to participate in “listening” mode. There are no panels or talking head events at PLSC.
All participants are expected to read and be prepared to discuss one paper per session (usually a total of 8 papers), and thus PLSC requires significant preparation. We recommended that participants devote 1.5 to 2 days of reading to prepare prior to the conference. One does not need to submit a paper to participate in PLSC–indeed most participants do not.
PLSC is an annual event, alternating between Berkeley Law and The George Washington University School of Law.
More than 100 nations have enacted comprehensive data protections laws, but the U.S. is not one of them. Policymakers have yet to agree on how to protect personal data, how to give consumers better controls and protections over their personal data, what responsibilities corporations should have to protect data and privacy, and how best to enforce such protections.
This forum will explore how the U.S. should approach data and privacy protection. The event will begin with three Ted-style presentations covering the realities of digital life, followed by a fireside chat with U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.). It will conclude with a dynamic audience debate in response to questions asked by the moderator.

08:30 – 09:30 Registration and Breakfast
09:30 – 10:10 Welcome and Opening Presentations:Problems and Possible Solutions

Future of Privacy Forum (FPF) invites you to join us on Friday, June 7th, 2019 for a roundtable discussion with Dr. Johnny Ryan, Chief Policy & Industry Relations Officer for Brave Software, to discuss The Future of Ad Tech – Emerging Business Models and Designing for Privacy.
Prior to joining Brave Software, Dr. Ryan was Head of Ecosystem for PageFair, and Chief Innovation Officer of The Irish Times. In recent years, he has been a prominent privacy advocate in the EU, working with digital rights organizations to file formal complaints with regulators in the UK, Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg, related to advocates’ concerns about the Ad Tech industry and current real-time bidding (RTB) practices (read the primary regulatory complaint here). More recently, Dr. Ryan testified before the U.S. Senate Judicary Committee in a May 21st hearing, “Understanding the Digital Advertising Ecosystem and the Impact of Data Privacy and Competition Policy.” (Watch the hearing)
The discussion will be moderated by Stacey Gray, Senior Counsel at the Future of Privacy Forum.
We will discuss with the group:
- What does the future hold for alternative Ad Tech business models, including blockchain and attention-based models such as the Brave Attention Token (BAT)?
- What does engineering for privacy, or “privacy by design,” mean in the context of advertising technology?
- What’s on the horizon for Ad Tech in Europe?
- & any other questions you have — please feel free to send your questions ahead of time.
Lunch will be provided.
