MyData Online 2022 conference takes place on October 27! Building on the MyData 2022 conference in June in Helsinki, this event presents global perspectives on personal data. The programme features two 4-hour blocks to suit various time zones. Topics include smart cities, data governance, data spaces, children’s data rights, and more. In addition to inspiring keynotes and interactive sessions focusing on use cases and thought leadership, there are also networking and pitch sessions. Welcome!

MyData Online 2022 brings together stakeholders representing Business, Legal, Tech and Social perspectives, because they are all equally important for accelerating human-centric policies and their practical implementation.

If you are a business leader, CDO, CIO, CTO, CPO, policy maker or a policy shaper, DPO or legal expert, digital transformation expert, business development professional, privacy or data protection advocate, cloud architect, or/and data enthusiast – this is the event for you!
