Explore the crossroads of
privacy, access, governance,
compliance, law, and technology that matter to you, your career, and your organization
PACC continues the tradition of exploring the impacts and unintended consequences that legislation, regulations, and technology have on your career and your organization — and what to do about it all
The Congress is THE place to mix, mingle, and learn from industry leaders, regulators, and expert speakers. Discussions are always interesting, challenging, and thought-provoking — but never the same-old, same-old
The Congress is a unique professional development opportunity to gather with colleagues from public and private organizations, share insights, and learn from federal, provincial, and territorial governments, industry, academia and regulatory authorities
Thank you, so very much, for an excellent conference, This was so interesting (and eye-opening!).
– Senior Policy Advisor, office of the Senate Liberal Leader. Ottawa ON
The Congress features a heavily participatory format that helps attendees develop practical knowledge, with real-life expertise from a truly varied assortment of perspectives and experiences
I thought the conference was great, and especially enjoyed learning about new technologies and their privacy and security impacts.

Connect with colleagues, peers and regulators in the nation’s capital to network, learn, and enjoy
Without exaggeration, it is the best conference/congress I have attended

The Congress is a unique event that’s also notable for what it doesn’t offer: theory, sales pitches, recitations of annual reports, and typical rubber chicken lunches.
The Congress takes a refreshingly pragmatic approach and limits registration to ensure a high speaker-to-delegate ratio and a strong participatory experience
| Sessions are longer than at most conferences so everyone has time to share their insights (though we’re flattered to see other conferences have started offering longer sessions). | Upholding tradition is important — so each Congress concludes with a Regulators’ Roundtable, an extended adn informal conversation with Information and Privacy Commissioners and Regulators. | Scheduling ensures attendees have time to meet and mingle… that speakers have ample time to present their views… and that delegates have time to ask questions and get real, unscripted answers. |
| Speakers are encouraged to leave the PowerPoint presentations behind so that delegates and speakers can engage in meaningful conversations, rather than focusing on a screen. | Discussions are forward-looking and take a realistic approach to policy, implementation, application, outcomes and unintended conseque consequences. We focus on practical application and practice, instead of dwelling on theory or history. | Our No-Pitch Policy means speakers must commit to not pitch their products or services. After all, you’re here to learn and be informed, not to be sold to. (The few speakers who have disregarded that detail have not been, and will not be, invited back. It’s a matter of integrity, respect, and trust.) |
