The Congress is organized in collaboration with the Rocky Mountain Civil Liberties Association.
From April 5-7, regulatory authorities and thought leaders from industry, government and academia will gather to share insights about technological trends and regulatory developments that affect public and private sector organizations’ efforts to protect data and comply with privacy laws.

A range of topics will address timely issues affecting employers and employees including:
- Privacy Impact Assessment Fundamentals
- Managing a Data Breach
- Privacy Guidance for Small & Medium Businesses
- Crafting Clear Cloud Computing Contracts
- GDPR and the Death of Privacy Shield
- Urgent Privacy Challenges in the Internet of Things
- Digital Privacy at the Border
