Next-generation privacy – 360° data protection
Since Bitkom’s Privacy Conference in 2025, the privacy and data protection landscape has continued to evolve at full speed. From ongoing debates about the future of the GDPR – does it need an update, and what should that look like? – to the implementation of new digital regulations such as the AI Act and the Data Act, organisations of all sizes face an increasingly complex regulatory environment. Meanwhile, technologies like artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and data ecosystems are reshaping how information is processed, stored, and shared. The challenges are immense – but so are the opportunities.
On 29 & 30 September 2026, the Bitkom Privacy Conference will once again bring together privacy experts from data protection authorities, international companies, and innovative startups to discuss the key developments and trends in data protection and privacy.
Building on our 360° approach, #pco26 will explore the intersection of technology, regulation, and business innovation. Through keynotes, workshops, and interactive panels, leading experts will share best practices, real-world insights, and forward-looking strategies for data-driven organisations.
The first day of the conference, 29 September 2026, will take place on-site at the Futurium in Berlin, focusing on the German and European perspectives. On 30 September 2026, the conference will open its digital stage for global discussions and international insights via livestream.
Join us at #pco26 and be part of shaping the future of privacy and data protection.
