DESCRIPTION
COPPA at 20: Protecting Children’s Privacy in the New Digital Era
With Senator Ed Markey (D-MA), FTC Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, and other speakers.
Agenda
11:45am – Doors Open
12:00pm – Opening Keynote: FTC Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter
12:30pm – Panel 1: COPPA at 20: The Evolving Tech Landscape
Much has changed in the twenty years since COPPA was enacted. Connected toys, home IoT devices, and the emergence of major content platforms are changing how children interact with the internet. At the same time, new research has raised concerns about childhood development and addiction. How has COPPA’s implementation evolved over the last 20 years to meet the issues raised by these new developments? What challenges does this new landscape present?
1:45pm – Panel 2: Interpreting COPPA: Key Questions and Challenges
Several key issues in COPPA’s implementation continue to raise questions for companies, advocates, courts and regulators interpreting the law. As large-scale data collection becomes more ubiquitous, new questions emerge regarding COPPA’s application to operators of “general audience”devices.How is “actual knowledge” being interpreted? How has the proliferation of third-party data trackers and complex, multi-sided platforms impacted efforts to assign liability? Has the FTC’s approach to “personal information” been successful, and should more be done?
3:00pm – Panel 3: Enforcing COPPA: Successes, Challenges & Opportunities
COPPA takes a somewhat unique approach to self-regulation. The law includes a provision enabling industry groups or others to submit for Commission approval self-regulatory guidelines that implement the protections of the Commission’s final Rule.Is this approach considered a success? What challenges have regulators and advocates faced in enforcing this Safe Harbor program? What lessons might COPPA have for broader privacy enforcement?
4:30pm – Closing Keynote: Senator Ed Markey (D-MA)
5:00pm – Event Ends
Lunch will be provided.

This program is aimed at regulators, policymakers, legislators and staff who want to more deeply understand the data driven technologies that are front of mind for data protection discussions. Structured as an interactive lesson, technology experts will present a training course designed to equip data protection experts with a foundation to understand how data is deployed for machine learning, genetics, biometrics, connected cars, health research, facial recognition and ad tech.
This inaugural session will focus on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Attendees will be provided in advance with a copy of “The Privacy Experts Guide to Machine Learning” and will join leading machine learning experts for presentations geared at bringing the details of the technology to an audience without an in depth computer science background. In addition to a primer on the basics of the field, issues of particular consequence to policymakers such as fairness, bias, and data minimization will be examined.
The organizers intend to offer additional sessions over a year, covering a range of technical topics. Sessions will be provided in person and will support remote participation. A certificate will be provided to those completing the full course.
Time: 14:30 – 15:50 (refreshments included)
Date: Thursday 25th October
Venue: Stanhope Hotel, Rue du Commerce 9, 1000 Bruxelles, Belgium.
Walking distance from the Hemicycle (venue of public sessions): 10 minutes
Registration: Please note that given the nature of the programme, priority registration will be confirmed for authorities and government employees. Subject to availability, registration will be confirmed for additional participants.
| Businesses today depend on data to run efficiently, connect customers, and uncover new opportunities. As data companies with global footprints, LINE and Intertrust have championed a world of connected devices and big data: one that feels both smaller and richer than ever, but that has the potential for disruption and chaos.
The 4th Bi-annual LINE × Intertrust Security Summit will gather leaders in technology, business, academia, and policy from around the world to discuss the next steps to ensure security, privacy, and trust in an increasingly connected world. Now, more than ever, is the time to build trust together. |
About the Summit
Hosted by Israel’s Prime Minister, we will meet on 29-30 October in ‘Habima’ National Theater in Tel Aviv, Israel, for a dialogue about the world’s most forward-thinking approaches to transportation, cutting-edge technologies and future business models, and to promote Israel’s ambitious goal of reducing 60% of the country’s oil consumption by 2025.
| The Digital Society is remaking the fields of commerce, education, public health, and everything in between. While big data analytics, artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things produce ample benefits, they also raise threats of panoptic surveillance and algorithmic determinism. Left unchecked, these forces can erode human dignity, autonomy, privacy, and freedom. Please join the Program on Data and Governance on Wednesday, November 7, as Professor Anita Allen, University of Pennsylvania, delivers a talk on “Intelligence Without Ethics? Holding On To Our Values and Ourselves in the Digital Society.”
Who is responsible for protecting our essential values in an age of information? Professor Allen argues that individuals, corporations, and governments each have distinct ethical obligations to constrain big data practices in the public interest. In the Sidley Austin Distinguished Lecture on Big Data Law and Policy, Professor Allen will explore the moral and legal agendas that can guide society to a future that is not just smart, but also ethical. Expert Commenter Professor Bart van der Sloot, Tilburg University, Netherlands, will comment on Professor Allen’s lecture and share his own, innovative theory on how privacy also requires protection against information about oneself. |
| The high pace of technology, particularly after the long wave of industrialization and artificial intelligence, has altered the way we see the universe. The human contribution to almost every field became passé, and now it is more about the synergy between the human and the technology. The conference represents and analyzes Parallelism as a way to understand and reveal the mechanism behind the interaction between Architecture, Environment and Computing techniques.
This conference unveils the new trends of architectural technologies and computational thinking that can adapt and improve finding a complex digital fabrication, augmented reality, and intelligent environment. The conference represents an important forum for computational and digital architecture research that reconciles parallelism in different architectural and computing discourses. It also provokes discussion in state-of-the-art themes and topics, such as high performance computing, big data, advanced systems and interfaces, ubiquitous computing, as well as advanced fabrication technologies and tectonics. The conference also includes within its scope a number of workshops and technical sessions. The second version of the PACT Conference is to be organized by the University of East London (UEL) in collaboration with the International Experts for Research Enrichment and Knowledge Exchange (IEREK)institution. The research, that is the main part of the debate, is to be contributed with and discussed over a number of sessions that are introduced and initiated with keynote lectures. The lectures are to be given by well-known speakers and continued by the exchange of knowledge and ideas between the researchers themselves. |

We had such an extraordinary group of scholars present fascinating and important work at the Workshop in October. We hope the second Workshop will surpass the high standards set by the first!
A formal Call for Papers will be available on June 1, 2018, with abstracts due at the end of the summer. Paper drafts will be due in early October.
The Workshop takes a liberal view on the scope of privacy scholarship, and our goal is to include interdisciplinary scholars from a broad range of disciplines with a variety of perspectives. To that end, please feel free to share this Save The Date widely with all manner of privacy scholars, friends, and colleagues.
Join us for our 3nd annual symposium and workshop on the ethical, legal and social implications of learning health systems (ELSI-LHS)!
This year’s focus will be on use cases and lessons learned from emerging learning health systems and their enabling technologies locally, in the state of Michigan, and across the US to address chronic diseases such as cancer. Special emphasis will be placed on themes and issues arising in previous symposia such as trust, systems ethics, and equity.
The event will be held on Friday, November 9 from 8 – 3:15 pm.
Our goal is to advance policy, practices, and interdisciplinary research addressing the ethical, legal and social implications of learning health systems (ELSI-LHS).To foster responsible research and innovation, we envision that multiple, diverse stakeholders (researchers, health care providers, citizens, policy makers, industry, etc.) will work together throughout the learning cycle to better align the process and outcomes with social values, needs and expectations.
