Preparing for Federal Regulations Coming Down the Pipeline
It’s no secret that fragmented state-by-state data privacy regulations have put companies in a spin trying to figure out how and where to focus their compliance energies. This panel will focus on where federal data privacy regulations are gaining traction: protecting children’s privacy, and what your organization should keep top of mind.

What to Expect in 2023
It’s one thing to have a pulse on state-by-state privacy legislation; it’s another to actually comply with the patchwork of laws. This session will focus on how you can prepare for these regulations in practice: what each state requires, what it means to actually opt-in and opt-out, and how you can build a connection with your customers.

Consent - Beyond Compliance
Several state laws require consumers to opt-in and opt-out of targeted marketing. Companies can look at this as a compliance burden or as an opportunity. This panel will discuss how to take these new requirements – along with the deprecation of cookies- and turn it into an opportunity.

Consent and Preference Management Across the Globe
Once upon a time, consent was almost as simple as “just” managing cookies. Today, organizations are mobilizing to figure out strategies for managing consent across multiple channels, brands, and devices, from phones to smart TVs to connected appliances. This discussion will focus on how companies can use consent as a way to build trust, collect more first-party data, and be confident in their regulatory compliance.

Accountable Executives = Accountable Privacy Programs
Regulators from California, France, Australia, and points in between are increasingly requiring organizations to prove their comprehensive privacy programs are operationally effective and aligned with executive governance and accountability. This means corporate controls binding on even the most senior executives, investment across the organization, and real-time performance data.
Scott Taylor, VP Chief Privacy Officer at Merck, and Marty Abrams, Executive Director at the IAF have been exploring for two decades how to implement mature, comprehensive accountability programs. This session will show how it is done.

Differential Privacy: Lessons for Enterprises from US Government Agencies
Enterprises trying to keep up with technological advances and a rapidly changing regulatory landscape can learn from their public sector counterparts who have been finding innovative ways to publish data while respecting the privacy of individuals.
This talk will review recent uses of differential privacy in the public sector, based on actual case-studies at the US Census Bureau and the Internal Revenue Service. We will emphasize the tools and processes that enable “negotiations” between the parties most concerned with privacy and those most concerned with accuracy, or “fitness for use”, of the released data. We will explain the benefits that drove the adoption of differential privacy and how they can be translated to commercial enterprises.
