Silicon Valley Meets GDPR: A Chat with Public & Private Stakeholders
Event Information
Description
Data privacy affects all of us, whether you are an entrepreneur, a tech giant, a citizen or a consumer. Following the implementation of EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in May of this year and the passage of California's Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, Washington is now exploring potential comprehensive national legislation on privacy.
The conversation is not limited to the United States and Europe as other countries take similar actions.
The European Union and Open Austria invite you to join public and private stakeholders for a discussion, followed by a Q & A session on different approaches to data protection and explore the way forward.

-
Andrea Jelinek, Chair , European Data Protection Board
-
Cindy Cohn, Executive Director, Electronic Frontier Foundation
-
Lien Ceulemans, VP Global Privacy, Salesforce
-
Chris Riley, Director of Public Policy, Mozilla

Our mission is to connect Austrian entrepreneurs, innovators, scientists and creative minds to the Valley and provide those who are already here with a home base. It is also our goal to shed light on the vast creative and innovative potential of Austria. A high-tech nation of “hidden champions” in the heart of Europe, Austria deserves to be recognized well beyond its world-famous artistic and cultural traditions. Join us on this adventure and help us create a network of openness towards the world of tomorrow!
