The Connected DPO: Networks, Professional Associations and Beyond

Data Protection Officers (DPOs) are an essential feature of the current data protection landscape. They have a multitude of tasks and responsibilities, duties and challenges. Luckily, they are not alone.

This roundtable will look into the possibilities for DPOs to get together, touching upon questions such as:

• What are the existing networks, and what do they aim at doing?
• What are, in practice, the advantages for DPOs of joining such networks?
• What role can the play, for instance, in case of seemingly inappropriate dismissal of a DPO?
• From a policy perspective, which are or should be the priorities of DPOs associations?

Chair: Gloria González Fuster (LSTS, VUB) 

Speakers include: 

• Cecilia Álvarez Rigaudias (Asociación Profesional Española de Privacidad, APEP) 
• Christophe Boeraeve (Association Française des Correspondants à la protection des Données à caractère Personnel, AFCDP) 
• Gonca G.Dhont (DPO Network Europe)  

• Koenraad Flamant (Beroepsvereniging van de Belgische Data Protection Officers /Union Professionelle des Data Protection Officers belge)
