The intense focus on privacy in the US and globally has raised pressure on businesses that use personal data to create innovative products and services, such as analytics, AI, blockchain, IoT, digital health, edtech, insurtech, fintech, enterprise software, threat intelligence, fraud prevention, clinical trials and other applications.
This program will focus on how companies can leverage personal data towards innovation, while respecting consumer and business customer expectations, embracing fairness and transparency, and balancing legal requirements with the enforcement climate and reputational risks.
Nicholas Johnston, editor in chief at Axios, will deliver the keynote address, discussing the media’s intense focus on privacy and information security.

Each month, the Future of Privacy Forum hosts a call with thought leaders to discuss topical issues related to privacy and responsible data use.
We will provide an update and opportunity to discuss recent privacy updates to the Android and iOS platforms and app stores.
We will also discuss recent legislative developments regarding biometric technologies. Lawmakers are increasingly passing or considering measures that would limit use of facial recognition or other biometric tech by government agencies and/or companies. These issues are top of mind for legislators at the federal, state, and municipal levels.
