IAPP Global Privacy Summit 2018
by International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP)
The IAPP Global Privacy Summit 2018, organized by the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP), was held on March 27-28, 2018, in Washington, D.C. This premier event brought together data protection regulators, government officials, attorneys, information technology consultants, and privacy experts from around the world to discuss emerging trends in global data privacy.
A significant focus of the summit was the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), set to take effect on May 25, 2018. Sessions covered GDPR implementation and enforcement strategies, potential legal conflicts between GDPR and U.S. privacy laws, and the impact of technologies like artificial intelligence and blockchain on privacy.
The event featured various seminars, including a GDPR Enforcement Panel with Helen Dixon, Ireland's Data Protection Commissioner, discussing enforcement readiness, and a session on conflicts between U.S. privacy laws and GDPR, led by Isabelle Falque-Pierrotin, President of France's data protection authority. Additionally, experts like Allison Clift-Jennings and Aaron Wright explored blockchain's role in data privacy, while Pedro Pavon, Vivek Narayanadas, and Andrew Dale debated the benefits and challenges of artificial intelligence in privacy contexts.
Attendees had opportunities to network with peers, engage in discussions on pressing privacy issues, and gain insights from leading professionals in the field. The summit provided a platform for privacy professionals to stay informed about global privacy developments and to collaborate on solutions to emerging challenges.
