Right now DC is the place to be for people interested in the latest on consumer privacy and data security. The FTC’s third PrivacyCon begins at 9:15 ET on Wednesday, February 28, 2018, with opening remarks from Acting Chairman Ohlhausen. Like the first two PrivacyCons, this year’s event features many of the biggest names in the research world discussing their findings.
But this time there’s more. Three new additions: 1) a deeper dive into the privacy and security implications of emerging technologies like the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality; 2) a special focus on the economics of privacy; 3) and a session during the lunch break to showcase the research of students with the potential to be the tech stars of tomorrow.
If you couldn’t make it to Washington, watch the live webcast from a link we’ll post moments before the curtain goes up on PrivacyCon. Or follow the conversation as FTC staff tweets from @FTC using the hashtag #PrivacyCon18.
