About the Event
The Future of Privacy Forum (FPF) hosts its 3rd Annual Privacy Executives Summit in Mountain View, California. This closed-door gathering brings together senior privacy leaders for interactive workshops, breakout sessions, and networking opportunities. All discussions operate under the Chatham House Rule, allowing participants to speak freely about challenges without attribution.
This year introduces a half-day AI Governance Workshop designed to address the cross-functional nature of AI oversight. The workshop encourages participation from professionals across legal, compliance, risk, security, technology, and business functions, reflecting how AI governance responsibilities now span multiple departments.
Privacy Engineering and Emerging Technologies
Technical sessions examine privacy engineering approaches for large language models and agentic AI systems. As organizations deploy these technologies, privacy teams face new challenges in applying traditional data protection principles to AI architectures that learn, adapt, and act autonomously. The summit addresses how privacy engineering practices must evolve alongside these capabilities.
Vendor procurement and contracting for privacy and AI receives dedicated attention, helping attendees manage third-party risk when engaging technology providers. Sessions also cover employee monitoring practices and their privacy implications.
Regulatory and Compliance Focus
The summit addresses California privacy and AI compliance alongside global data protection and AI governance requirements. Youth privacy and age assurance emerge as key topics, with sessions examining global youth data protection frameworks. Attendees discuss strategies for operationalizing compliance across multiple jurisdictions as regulatory requirements continue to expand.
Professional Development and Organizational Influence
Sessions address talent acquisition and professional development for privacy teams operating in an AI-driven environment. The summit also tackles how privacy leaders can effectively communicate their function’s value proposition to C-suites and boards, a persistent challenge as privacy teams seek resources and organizational support.
