This year was the year of changes for CPDP and Privacy Salon and ended with finding new home (office) at BeCentral!

It’s that exciting time of year again—the CPDPai 2025 call for panels is officially open! This 18th edition of our renowned data protection conference, themed “The World is Watching,” will take place from May 21st to 23rd, 2025, at Maison de La Poste.

Ars Electronica 2024 will take place in Linz from September 4 to 8 and will be dedicated to the title “HOPE – who will turn the tide”. Like never before, the Linz Festival for Art, Technology and Society will focus on artists, researchers, developers, activists, and entrepreneurs from all over the world. The main location will once again be POSTCITY, which is due to be demolished and will become a hotspot for the international media art scene for the seventh time.

This is the first of a special series of articles and podcasts exploring the Security Distillery's time at CPDP.ai this year. The conference set out to put the accelerating complexity of AI at centre stage, with the underlying question: Is AI governable? And under this motto, the Security Distillery team members Susanna, Michele, Cecile, Chiara and Dolores discuss their experience in the 2024 edition of the CPDP.ai Conference. They talk about their favorite topics, panels, workshops and exhibitions of the event.

The first edition of the Feminist Book Club at CPDP was a great success! Three books were presented and discussed during the CPDP conference. The Feminist Book Club, hosted by Privacy Salon, LSTS and Anastasia Karagianni.
