COVID-19, Re-Opening, and Privacy “I Heard Bob Has COVID!”
The COVID pandemic has, in a few short months changed the conversation about privacy. Not least of which, the now urgent need to deploy contact tracing technologies in order to protect public health raises significant privacy challenges. The panel will discuss these new concerns, and how the privacy debate shifts as the world gets back to a ‘new normal’.

Privacy in Marketing: What Will Our World Look Like in 3 Years
The Adtech industry has swelled as marketing’s appetite for data has grown on the back of massive opportunities for personalization and targeting. But, what do constraints such as the removal of third party cookies really mean? What course corrections are needed in the new landscape of CCPAs DSAR and Do Not Sell? More importantly where are the new opportunities? Where do trust and personalization meet and which takes precedent?

The Innovation Revolution, the Explosion of Data, and What it Means for National Security and Privacy
Innovation and data collection by startups has changed where countries look for data collection. For example, some countries now require data to be shared in order to do business, and countries can collect more information, faster, by looking to privacy sector sources. In this session, our experts will talk about current national security events, data collection, and how National Security and Intelligence Agencies can collaborate with the privacy sector to balance security, privacy, and the basic human rights of the people they are serving.

Technology and Privacy Protection: What Does “Automation” Mean?
We all read about ways in which we can bring technology to our privacy world, but where are we seeing real progress? For example, when companies “automate” privacy programs, what does that mean? When companies say that they can “integrate” or bring “artificial intelligence” or “bots” to privacy, what are they doing? Are people really necessary for privacy protection? Privacy and Technology leaders Dan Frank (Deloitte), Zac Murphy (T-Mobile), and Justin Antonipillai (WireWheel) lead this discussion for our community.
