The event examined the state of data privacy legislation in the US, highlighting what can be expected in the medium term, and debated the outlook for businesses and consumers. The 2023 edition also discussed how cooperation between different regions of the world can be deepened to promote the free flow of data, and included an update on the EU-US Data Protection Framework.

The 4th Annual Data Privacy Conference USA took place in Washington D.C. on September 14th 2022 and gathered thought leaders, legislators, the public and private sectors, and civil society representatives to discuss the most topical and timely issues relating Data Privacy in the US.
Sessions at this event explored how businesses and consumers can best adapt to continuously changing privacy requirements, methods and expectations ahead of the potential enactment of the ADPPA or any other future federal rulebook on privacy. The inextricable link between data privacy and competition regulations in the platform economy was examined, and how synergies between different data protection regimes internationally can be developed to create a more coherent transnational approach to regulation was assessed. Specific themed sessions debated issues relating to child privacy, lawful access to data – including but not limited to the implications of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v Wade – and the future of privacy as emerging technologies, such as AI and the metaverse, develop.
A common thread throughout the discussions explored how the ADPPA balances the protection of individuals and the promotion of positive innovation with regards to the issues covered.

The conference highlighted privacy issues around Artificial Intelligence developments worldwide, while significant focus was given to the privacy challenges raised by behavioural advertising, the major changes led by ‘Big Tech’ in this area and the impact these changes could have on competition, on future revenue streams and business models.

The Data Privacy Conference USA 2019 provided a top-level meeting space for the data protection community in the US and further afield to explore current and future challenges in the area of data privacy, as well as to debate the different governance strategies that have emerged. Speakers also discussed how a US data privacy framework could fit in the international context, what a federal law would mean for specific areas of the economy such as the health sector, and how a framework for the collection and use of personal data could be designed so that it does not hinder competition and innovation but promotes responsible use of data and safeguards users’ trust.
