... just one month to the CPDP!

It was one of these rare and precious sunny days in Brussels when we held the first organisation meeting of CPDP 2009. All the following work has been keeping such a warm and bright ambiance and infusing it into the CPDP program.
And I should say that even if today, just one month before CPDP, Brussels' fog seems on the edge of freezing, when I see the program, I feel warmer... And I think that the ambiance will get even warmer during the 2 intensive days of CPDP...

In order to get you acclimated with the most warmly and sunny conference of wintertime, we have decided to share this blog space with the speakers that want to post their ideas, messages, campaigns and news.
Just drop me an email with the text of your post and I'll publish it with your reference!
Everyone will be able to comment on your post, and if those debates start to work, we could open a discussion forum for CPDP 2010!

Last information: we have associated a name.surname@cpdpconferences.org email alias to every address of the speakers, to preserve their privacy and at the same time ease communication.

CPDP and the 3rd European DATA PROTECTION DAY

On 28 JANUARY 2009 the 3rd European DATA PROTECTION DAY is organised throughout Europe. It is an initiative of the Council of Europe with the support of the European Commission The aim of the Data Protection Day is to give European citizens the chance to understand what personal data is collected and processed about them and why, and what their rights are with respect to this processing. They should also be made aware of the risks inherent and associated with the illegal mishandling and unfair processing of their personal data.

The objective of the Data Protection Day is to inform and educate the public at large as to their day-to-day rights, but it may also provide data protection professionals with the opportunity of meeting data subjects. On the website of the Council of Europe there is a call to organise events all over Europe to raise awareness on data protection and inform citizens of their rights and of good practices, thereby enabling them to exercise these rights more effectively.

CDPD has taken up this task and organised a large public event on Friday 16th, in Brussels. Being ourselves dull academics we asked a team of creative people to put together a Pecha Kucha (a public debate formula sweeping through the world landscape as an ideal format for the citizens of today’s world to discuss and interact). We invited artists, intellectuals, policy makers, designers and even some academics to take the floor. A DJ will check our privacy vibes afterward and I am already checking out my moves and fashionable shoes.

I do not know who is precisely behind the European data protection days, but I would love it to be informed about the precise date a bit earlier. There is no problem in moving CDPD 2010 from the third week of January to the fourth week of January.

Welcome to CPDP 2009!!!

Wonderful, the second conference is taking up speed!
This time a bigger ambition is driving us: to bring together the interpretive community that has been constructed (better: that has constructed itself) around the principles of data protection. This kind of community is very divers and does not respond in the same way to data protection challenges. However, what they share is the terminology and the method of data protection. I hope that everybody present behaves and takes time to celebrate first being in one physical space. We will need many more CDPD conferences to find out whether common responses are possible.
I do not regret being very pessimistic about that.
