The 2019 ICDPPC Open Session Programme Advisory Committee (PAC) has recently been established and has met to appoint the final speaker line-up and content of the Open Session agenda in Tirana this October. The ICDPPC is honoured that Peter Hustinx, former European Data Protection Supervisor, and currently non-Executive Director at the ICO has agreed to co-chair the PAC. We will provide further updates from the Co-chairs in due course.
