Register for the II ‘DPD en xarxa’ Meeting

The learning and collaboration network of data protection officers in Catalonia 'DPD en xarxa' is holding its second in-person meeting on October 30. It will take place at the Bital space, located in Hospitalet de Llobregat, near the Fira Gran Via exhibition center. Artificial intelligence and the challenges it poses for the figure of the data protection officer will be one of the central themes of this year's event.

Attendee registration will begin at 9:30 a.m., and then, at 10 a.m., the director of the Catalan Data Protection Authority (APDCAT), Meritxell Borràs i Solé, will be in charge of welcoming the participating DPOs. Afterwards, the professor of computer engineering at the Rovira i Virgili University, and president of the Data Protection Advisory Council, Josep Domingo Ferrer, will give the presentation 'AI and data protection: a new challenge for DPOs'.

After a coffee break, at 11:30 there will be time to learn about the most relevant developments regarding the actions and positions of the APDCAT, led by the head of the Legal Department, Xavier Urios Aparisi, the head of the Inspection and Technical Area, Fina Valls Vila, and the coordinator of Technology and Information Security, Albert Serra Pagès.

At 12:30, it will be time to form the working groups, which will revolve around ethical and responsible artificial intelligence; the FRIA-PIA impact assessment, the European Health Data Space, the international data transfers, the new future challenges in ‘DPD en xarxa’, and algorithmic governance. After the lunch break, the groups will meet again, and at 4:00 pm, a representative from each will present the conclusions to the auditorium. The closing is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. You can consult the full program by following this link.
