The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR, or DSGVO in German) was formally adopted by the EU Parliament in the spring of 2016. It will come into force across all 28 EU Member States on May 25, 2018 upleveling data protection to a more harmonised and digitally fit regulatory framework. But there are still numerous open questions - for companies and users alike.

Please join us for this expert panel on April 12, 2018 at the Mozilla Berlin Office to learn more about GDPR/DSGVO! We're looking forward to discuss implications for users and companies alike with our experts:

• Stefan Lampe, Federal Agency for Civic Education

• Dirk Heitepriem, Director Government Relations EMEA, BlackBerry
  

• Dr. Nikolaus Lindner, Director Government Relations DE & EEC, eBay
  

• Katharina Nocun, net activist, writer and expert on data privacy

The event will be moderated by Léa Steinacker, Chief Innovation Officer at WirtschaftsWoche.

We're happy to welcome you at 6:30pm CEST for a relaxed get together with drinks and snacks. The panel itself will start at 7pm CEST and we'll open it up for a 40 minute Q&A with the audience at 7:50pm CEST.
