![Privacy Camp 2018: Speech, settings and [in]security by design @ Brussels | Bruxelles | Bruxelles | Belgium](https://privacycalendar.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Screen-Shot-2017-10-31-at-3.45.29-PM-300x65.png)
Join us for the 6th annual Privacy Camp! Privacy Camp will take place on 23 January 2018 in Brussels, Belgium, just before the start of the CPDP conference. Privacy Camp brings together civil society, policy-makers and academia to discuss existing and looming problems for human rights in the digital environment. In the face of a “shrinking civic space” for collective action, the event aims to provide a platform for actors from across these domains to discuss and develop shared principles to address key challenges for digital rights and freedoms of individuals.
Our theme this year is “speech, settings and [in]security by design”. The event will feature two main tracks. The first will discuss the challenges to freedom of speech online and the potential of a digital public sphere and the second track will focus on the security of devices and infrastructure. Altogether, these two tracks will explore whether we can collectively design better data infrastructures and information architecture. Participate!
The first track will focus on the challenging dynamics that we have been facing as we imagine a democratic digital public sphere. The topics covered will include the privacy-invasive measures to censor legitimate speech online as well as the role that algorithms play in curation and governance with sessions on algorithmic decision-making, accountability, fake news and the spread of propaganda.
The second track will include sessions on state hacking and malware, law enforcement access to user data (so-called “e-evidence”) and device security. It will also include hands-on tutorials on how to protect your communications better.
This year, Privacy Camp will also feature the “civil society summit” of the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) with opening remarks by Giovanni Buttarelli.
The event is co-organised by European Digital Rights (EDRi), Privacy Salon, USL-B Institute for European Studies and VUB-LSTS. Participation is free. Registrations will open in early December.
Participate!
We invite you to propose a panel for one of these two tracks:
Track 01 re-imagining the digital public sphere
Topics: #uploadfilters #censorship #algorithms #automation #accountability #fakenews #hackingelections #filterbubbles #propaganda
Track 02 [in]security of devices
Topics: #statehacking #encryption #surveillance #statemalware #Eevidence #security
When submitting your proposal:
- Indicate a clear objective for your session: What would be a good outcome for you?
- Indicate other speakers that could participate in your panel (and let us know which speaker has already confirmed, at least in principle, to participate).
- Make it as participative as possible, think about how to include the audience and diverse actors as much as possible.
- Send us a description of no more than 500 words.
- Deadline for submissions is 20 November.
After the deadline, we will review your submission and let you know by 6 December whether your panel can be included in the programme. It is possible that we suggest to merge proposals if they are very similar.
Please send your proposal via email to Maren<edri.intern3(at)edri(dot)org>!
If you have questions, please contact Kirsten <kirsten.fiedler(at)edri(dot)org> or Imge <imge.ozcan(at)vub(dot)be>.
The workshop is aimed at companies, in particular small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and industry associations interested in sharing their views regarding the use of technical standards and certifications in relation to data protection.
The workshop will focus on identifying the relevant factors fostering or hampering the adoption of data protection-related technical standards and certifications, with a focus on specific challenges for SMEs.
The workshop is part of an ongoing study on certification ex art. 42/43 GDPR in the context of the framework contract N JUST/2014/DATA/FW/0038, commissioned by the European Commission. The event is hosted by TNO and the Tilburg Institute for Law, Technology, and Society (TILT), Tilburg University. If you are interested to participate, please fill in your contact information below. Subject to availability, your participation will be confirmed by e-mail. Please note that the number of places is limited to 45 participants.

Join us for the 2018 International Data Privacy Day edition of Privacy Lab for privacy in the education sector.
Student privacy often faces a conundrum. How do organizations balance student privacy with legal requirements and benefits that can be gained from collecting data for instructional purposes? How can they prioritize when privacy often comes with a price tag and the public education system isn’t exactly flush with cash? Are there interesting comparisons and contrasts between K-12, higher education and edtech?
Our expert panel includes:
Bill Fitzgerald, Director, Privacy Valuation Initiative, Common Sense Media
Lisa Ho, Campus Privacy Officer at UC Berkeley
Vivienne Pustell, Director of Digital Safety for Summit Public Schools
Privacy After Hours is a fun and easy way for IAPP members and non-members to get to know other local privacy professionals. There’s no agenda, just show up to the designated after hours location and have a good time! The event is being organized by a volunteer coordinator in your community, and it’s open to anyone who works in or is interested in privacy.
Please note: Individuals are responsible for their own expenses.
The GDPR introduces the obligation of data protection by design and by default. This is a very important step ahead and a challenge for many organisations, but it cannot be the end of the road.
For technology to serve humans, a broader view on privacy and ethical principles must be taken into account in its design and development.
The panel will discuss the perspectives of businesses and regulators which are the principles that they see as important in this context, and which are the approaches of their own organisations, and their demands and recommendations for other stakeholders.
