Next-generation privacy – 360° data protection
Since Bitkom's Privacy Conference 2025, the privacy and data protection landscape has continued to evolve at a rapid pace.
The interplay between the GDPR, the Data Act, and the AI Act is creating an increasingly complex regulatory framework for organisations of all sizes. At the same time, artificial intelligence, data-driven business models, cloud technologies, and cross-border data flows are accelerating digital transformation.
New case law, geopolitical shifts, and an active supervisory landscape are increasing the pressure to act – while also opening up new opportunities for innovation and strategic positioning.
On 29 & 30 September 2026, the Bitkom Privacy Conference will once again bring together leading privacy experts from supervisory authorities, companies, academia, and start-ups. The conference will focus on current regulatory developments, practical implementation challenges, and strategic perspectives for a future-proof approach to data protection.
Building on our established 360° approach, #pco26 will address key topics such as the “digital omnibus”, the use of AI and data-driven technologies, international data transfers, recent rulings by the German Federal Court of Justice and the European Court of Justice, as well as cookies, tracking, and ePrivacy.
The first day of the conference, 29 September 2026, will take place on site at the Futurium in Berlin, focusing on German and European perspectives. On 30 September 2026, the event will open its digital stage for international discussions and global insights via livestream.
Join us at #pco26 and be part of shaping the future of privacy and data protection.
