11th Annual Privacy Law Scholars Conference (PLSC 2018), to be held Wednesday–Thursday, May 30–31 at the George Washington University Marvin Center in DC.
PLSC is a paper workshop. There is no opportunity or obligation to publish flowing from it. Our goal is simply to improve and provide support for in-progress scholarship. To do so, PLSC assembles a wide array of privacy law scholars and practitioners from around the world to discuss the papers. Scholars from many disciplines (psychology/economics, sociolo
We follow a format where a discussant, rather than the author, introduces and leads a discussion on the paper. There are no panels nor talking heads, and everyone is a “participant.” Participation is by invitation only; please do not transfer this invite to another person.
PLSC is co-sponsored by the George Washington University Law School and the Berkeley Center for Law & Technology.
CALL FOR ABSTRACTS & OUTLINES
If you would like to workshop a paper, please create an account on our conference management system, and submit a title, short abstract that grounds your work in a literature (see below), and high-level outline by Friday, December 22, 2017: https://cmt3.research.microsof
Email Chris ([email protected]) if you encounter any problems.
We will announce accepted abstracts on January 19, 2017.
Workshop versions of the paper will be due April 27, 2018. There is no commitment (or opportunity) to publish.
Please note, there is a large and growing list of privacy scholarship. For instance, the SSRN eJournal for privacy has over 3,000 papers, and this excludes pre-internet works, books, and scholarship from non-legal fields. http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/JE
In writing your abstract, please situate your project in a literature. If your topic is too new or spans multiple literatures, please indicate this. Please also explain the contribution your work makes to the literature.
The Program Committee has adopted new rules on sponsored scholarship at PLSC. We will not accept papers that are subject to pre-publication review/veto, or those where the sponsor controls the content of the paper. We furthermore require a conflicts of interest statement on scholarship.
When we survey participants, the most common complaint surrounds late papers. Thus, we reserve the right to cancel workshops if the paper draft is not provided sufficiently in advance for meaningful evaluation by participants.
Conference participants will be expected to read the papers in advance. Thus, please calendar two days of preparation time in advance of PLSC.
HOTEL
We do not have a hotel block because we’ve found that participants can easily locate rooms in DC.

The theme of this conference is Surveillance Beyond Borders and Boundaries. The theme is broad in the sense that we understand borders and boundaries as both literal and metaphoric. It is meant to capture how surveillance operates on and beyond territorial borders as well as the many ways that data flows today challenge boundaries between institutions and disciplines. We call for papers and panels from all areas of critical enquiry that seek to examine such complex articulations and impacts of surveillance in contemporary society. We invite participants to discuss, develop or demolish the borders and boundaries of surveillance. In particular, we welcome interventions that are truly interdisciplinary, multi- disciplinary, or transdisciplinary in scope and reach, from academics, activists, artists, and policy-makers, especially those who sit on the borderlands between academia and practice-based knowledge production.
Capacity for this meeting has been reached. If you would like to be added to the waitlist, please email [email protected].

Call for papers for APF 2018 is now open. Submission until 30th of March 2018.
Papers presenting original work on the themes of data protection and privacy and their repercussions on technology, business, government, law, society and policy are invited. An inter-disciplinary approach is high in demand for APF2018 to contribute to bridging the gap between research, business models and policy, much like proposing new models and interpretations. APF2018 seeks contributions from policy makers and implementers, Data Protection Authorities, industry, consultants, NGOs and the civil society.
Student Papers. In order to promote participation of young researchers, the submission of papers by students is encouraged. These papers will be treated as thoroughly as full papers, but can be shorter and reflect novel thinking that might not have been fully elaborated just yet.
Short Papers. In addition to student papers, short papers are invited as this call is open to anyone who has a sketch of an idea, opinion or a call for collaboration.

The most comprehensive regulatory reform in a generation, Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will come into force on May 25, 2018. With a geographic scope extending far beyond the borders of Europe and a material scope reaching across all industries, GDPR affects numerous Israeli companies not only in the fields of high tech, online, mobile, cloud, and IoT but also in financial, healthcare, and telecom markets. In this session, leading global data protection experts will provide a hands-on, practical training session to help your company prepare for, implement, and comply with GDPR. The session will address the following issues and allow the participants to engage with the presenters in an extensive Q&A:
· Determining if GDPR applies to you
· Starting a data governance program and appointing a DPO
· Performing data inventory and mapping
· Ensuring legitimate bases for processing
· Understanding consent
· Conducting risk analysis and DPIA
· Enabling data subject rights
· Managing vendor relations

In this workshop, policymakers, academics and industry leaders discuss how Israel can best draw on the strength of its robust centers of excellence in cybersecurity, mobility, medical devices, and more to cement international relationships with global multinationals and government actors and to ensure that businesses operating in and out of Israel and continue to thrive as they grow.

The GDPR has raised the bar with new requirements on companies to justify their use of EU personal data. And while relying on consent is not the only legal option available, it’s successfully put GDPR at the top of every inbox as consumers have been submerged in emails from companies urging them to “stay in touch” or “not miss out”. Are these emails really necessary? What do I need to include in my privacy notice or consent form? What kind of records do I need if a regulator asks?
With a divergence of opinion, consent management remains a hot topic and has generated a lot of questions and uncertainty.
- The GDPR requirements on determining the legal basis for processing
- The most recent guidance from regulators on seeking consent
- Sample consent forms, legitimate interests assessments and other best practice examples
