Privacy State of the Union

Kick off 2026 with a clear, grounded look at where privacy is headed, and what it means for the teams actually doing the work. Held during National Data Privacy Week, this intimate, one-day, in-person forum in Washington, DC brings together regulators, in-house counsel, and industry luminaries for candid, practical conversations on the issues shaping privacy programs right now.

Designed as an East Coast complement to the U.S. Privacy Summit, this forum prioritizes dialogue over decks and real-world insight over theory. You’ll hear directly from state enforcers and the FTC, engage in open discussion, and connect with peers navigating the same regulatory and operational pressures.

From regulator fireside chats to practitioner panels, join us to hear meaningful dialogue on:

• Kids’ privacy and age verification
• Health data and sensitive information
• Adtech and targeted advertising
• State AG enforcement priorities
• FTC enforcement and policy priorities
• Federal and state policy outlook for 2026

Confirmed speakers include Chris Mufarrige, FTC Director, Bureau of Consumer Protection, and John Eakins, Delaware Deputy Attorney General.

Attendance will be limited to support candid discussion and meaningful engagement.
