The International Conference of Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners (ICDPPC) will hold its 41st annual meeting in Tirana, Albania in October 2019, announced John Edwards, Chair of the ICDPPC.
“The Conference has not previously met in the Western Balkans and we are delighted to have the opportunity to convene in Albania in two years’ time.
“As a Conference providing leadership at international level in data protection and privacy, it is appropriate to meet in a country that has transitioned to democracy and to learn from people who retain memories of the harshest communist dictatorship of Eastern Europe”, said Mr Edwards.
The event will be hosted by the Information and Data Protection Commissioner (IDP) of Albania.
Background
The International Conference of Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners first met in 1979. It has been the premier global forum for data protection authorities for four decades. The Conference links 114 privacy and data protection authorities from across the globe.
The IDP is the independent data protection authority for Albania. It has been an accredited Conference member since 2010. More information on the IDP is available at www.idp.al.
The indicative dates of the 41st Conference are 10-13 October 2019, but these are subject to confirmation.
Selection of a host more than two years in advance has been a strategic goal for the Conference’s Executive Committee for some years, to enable hosts to have sufficient lead time to organize a major event. This has been achieved for the first time for the 2019 Conference, and is intended to become standard practice for future hosts.

Following the format of PLSC in the United States, PLSC Europe is a conference for discussing work in progress. There is no opportunity or obligation to publish connected to the conference. Our goal is simply to improve and provide support for in-progress scholarship. To do so, PLSC Europe assembles privacy law scholars as well as policy makers, practitioners and civil society experts from Europe and around the world to workshop and discuss papers. The conference is open to other than legal disciplines and values multi-disciplinary approaches.
The conference follows a format where a discussant, rather than the author, is assigned to kick off a discussion of the paper with the audience. We often pair junior scholars with senior colleagues in order to create mentorship opportunities. In the PLSC format, there are no panels or presentations by the authors. Instead, everyone is a “participant”, offering their best questions and insights to stimulate discussion on the draft scholarship.

The powerful have long agreed: Poor and working people must be watched.
With the proliferation of digital monitoring and algorithmic management of gig economy and blue collar workers, it might seem like the expansion of workplace surveillance is a new trend. In reality, it is a centuries-old phenomenon that has shaped core aspects of modern privacy debates. From English Poor Laws, to the monitoring of 19th century coal miners and 20th century farmworker advocates, to contemporary efforts to track workers in the digital economy, this conference will follow the surveillance of poor and working people and those who advocate for them.
How has the myth of the untrustworthy pauper or worker transformed over time? What role has race and ethnicity played in justifying surveillance? Has this surveillance proven effective or not? How has technology normalized and propogated this surveillance? Finally, how are local communities, advocates, and artists responding to these challenges?
The Color of Surveillance addresses these questions and more, elevating the voices of working people, labor advocates, artists, and historians. The conference will take place on Thursday, November 7 in Hart Auditorium at Georgetown University Law Center, and is presented in partnership with Free Press and MediaJustice.
Stay tuned for more information on speakers, session details, and RSVPs (note: if you would like to RSVP without going through Eventbrite, please email us at [email protected]). For updates, subscribe to our newsletter.
