Venice 2022 Overview

Venice 2022 Overview

With 78 sessions, the Privacy Symposium conference of 2022 gave the floor to 245 experts in data protection, including national authorities, European institutions, and international organizations. It brought together about 500 registered participants plus 350 remote participants, in line with its ambition to support international dialogue, cooperation and knowledge sharing.

From health data protection to artificial intelligence and quantum computing, the conference demonstrated how important it is to bring together the legal experts, the practitioners and the research community. It highlighted the potential of joining forces to support and enhance data protection across borders and technologies.

The conference also made clear that most participants share the same fundamental values and vision across countries and regions, with a strong potential to learn from each other, and to enhance personal data protection by working together.

Hosting the conference in Venice has been highly inspiring in this human and intellectual encounter. It brought new perspectives on privacy and data protection and contributed to set the foundations of new collaboration bridges.
