Meet the expert: Max Schrems to speak at PrivSec World Forum

Taking place at Park Plaza, Westminster Bridge, London on June 7 and 8, PrivSec: World Forum sponsored by OneTrust is part of the Digital Trust Europe Series.

The two-day, in-person event brings together a range of speakers from world-renowned companies and industries, plus thought leaders and experts sharing case studies and their experiences, taking professionals from all fields to the cutting edge of data protection, privacy and security debate.

A pioneer of data protection and privacy

Chairperson at noyb.eu, Max Schrems is famous for campaigns against Facebook for privacy violations. Schrems held the social media giant to account for violations of European privacy laws, and for the alleged transfer of personal data to the US National Security Agency (NSA), as part of the agency’s PRISM programme.

Today, the Austrian lawyer and author is widely known as a custodian of data protection and privacy thanks to his unrelenting efforts to bring both big tech and data protection regulators to account, all with the aim of upholding the rights of global citizens.

Max will be taking centre stage on day one at PrivSec: World Forum, in a keynote session that will cover topics of critical importance, including:

• The future of online privacy
• Making GDPR enforcement work
• The battle against surveillance

Visitors will have the opportunity to get their questions answered in a live audience Q&A session following the keynote.
