The Digital Privacy Roundtable is a special 75 minute, virtual event that will be held on 25 August 2021. During the event, moderated by the Digital Privacy Chair Chris Gorog, we will discuss Digital Privacy’s importance and address the future of Privacy and Big Data in our connected world. Key topics will include what are our rights as individuals to own and control our data? What are the responsibilities and accountability of the data holders? Our keynote, Russell Harrison, will set the stage, exploring the Digital Privacy Landscape from a regulatory and policy perspective. Then we move to the roundtable, where the panelists will provide a brief view of their interest and concerns for Digital Privacy relating to their unique scope. Before closing, several questions will be proposed in order to help provide a more comprehensive insight into which areas of Digital Privacy and topic areas resonate most with the audience.

This Digital Privacy Roundtable is an IEEE Future Tech Forum event, brought to you by IEEE Future Directions.
