This workshop aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the evolving landscape of privacy and data protection, both globally and within the Arab region. It will address the challenges and opportunities presented by emerging and future technologies, such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and 6G networks. During this workshop participants will gain valuable insights into the latest regulatory frameworks, strategic developments, and best practices designed to foster innovation while ensuring data security and privacy.
The workshop will serve as a platform for in-depth discussions on navigating the complexities of data protection in a rapidly changing technological environment. Experts from across the Arab region, including representatives from ministries of communications and information technology, national telecommunications regulatory bodies, and data protection authorities, will join the event.
