The European Data Protection and Privacy Conference takes place annually and is a key fixture in the Brussels calendar, fostering lively and interactive discussions on the future of data protection regulation. 

Following the European Commission’s release of the Digital Omnibus Package, this year’s conference will explore the future of Europe’s digital and data protection framework. It will examine the extent to which the GDPR can be refined to support an innovative, competitive, and rights-preserving digital future, while placing individuals at the heart of Europe’s evolving digital rulebook through greater coherence, fairness, and trust. The conference will further explore the complex interplay between competition policy and data privacy, highlighting the need to break down regulatory silos and will also take a global view on data protection, examining how regions can cooperate in an increasingly fragmented regulatory landscape.
