January Privacy Lab – Student Privacy Panel @ San Francisco

January Privacy Lab - Student Privacy Panel @ San Francisco | San Francisco | California | United States

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

CPDP Side Event: Privacy By Design, Privacy Engineering @ Brussels
Jan 25 @ 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm
CPDP Side Event: Privacy By Design, Privacy Engineering @ Brussels | Schaerbeek | Bruxelles | Belgium

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.

Organised by EDPS and supported by FPF and Qwant

Jan 29 @ 8:00 am – 8:00 pm
State of the Net Conference 2018 @ Washington, DC | Washington | District of Columbia | United States

The State of the Net Conference (SOTN) provides unparalleled opportunities to network and engage on key Internet policy issues. SOTN is the largest Internet policy conference in the U.S. and the only one with over 50 percent Congressional staff and government policymakers in attendance. The State of the Net Conference is the only Internet policy conference routinely recognized for its balanced blend of academics, consumer groups, industry and government. Past keynote speakers includes FCC Chair Tom Wheeler, UBER Founder/CEO Travis Kalanick, Dropbox Founder/CEO Drew Houston and many others. Want to know more? Find out more about our recent past speakers here.

A full day of panels, keynotes, fireside chats and lively debate will tackle the policy issues of the day and delve into the technology trends that will come to define 2018.

Want to know more about what State of the Net does? There are video highlights of the conference to give a better sense of what the event does.

Full conference agenda and speaker list is under development and will be posted on our website at http://www.StateoftheNet.org

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.
