Data Privacy and Protection Conference 2027

As Africa’s digital economy accelerates, organizations across the financial services, government, healthcare, telecommunications, retail, and technology sectors face a new generation of privacy, security, and AI-related challenges. The Data Privacy & Protection Conference 2027 brings together regulators, business leaders, privacy professionals, cybersecurity experts, legal practitioners, and innovators to explore how Africa can build a trusted, resilient, and responsible digital future.

Building on the critical conversations of the 2026 conference, the 2027 edition will focus on the evolving intersection of data governance, privacy, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, digital finance, cross-border data flows, and ethical innovation.

Delegates will engage with practical case studies, regulatory developments, emerging technologies, and peer-to-peer discussions designed to move organisations beyond compliance toward a culture of digital trust and accountability.

Key themes will include:
-Data Governance, Privacy Ethics, and PAIA
-Navigating through Data Breaches
-Navigating EdTech: Balancing Digital Innovation with Student Privacy
-Third-party validations
-Case study
-Privacy hidden clause

Held during International Data Privacy Week, the conference serves as a premier platform for strategic dialogue, collaboration, and knowledge sharing across Africa’s rapidly evolving digital landscape.
