Additional Information
Privacy Lab is a meetup for privacy minded people to foster communication and collaboration. We've now expanded location to San Francisco, Berlin, and London!
The goal of these events is to bring together people who work in the privacy space from different perspectives - people who may not regularly talk to each other - policy people, techies, activists, and academics at big companies, startups, universities, libraries, NGO's, foundations, civil society and more - that's one of the benefits of attending.
Sign up to our email list to be among the first receive details of any future events. https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/privacy-events-london
If you enjoy talking privacy - so much so that it's related to what you do for a living or how you volunteer your time - this is the event for you.
By attending, you'll be able to hear about what other people and organisations are working on, share what you're doing and look for new opportunities to collaborate and get involved.
Typically, the first hour is devoted to speaker(s) and Q&A, while the second hour is an open format designed around informal networking and small group discussions. The London Privacy Lab also intend holding a number of educational hands-on workshops.
Meetings are held monthly throughout the year. Locations rotate and new hosts are always welcome. Hosts are typically companies, NGOs and universities with space for 40-75 people and an interest in privacy topics. Larger venues typically include a guest speaker or several lightning talks, whereas smaller venues may focus on small group discussions. Topics are selected in advance and speakers are often recorded for remote and future viewing.
