WilmerHale will continue to partner with the 26th Data Protection Congress in 2025. Our partner Dr. Martin Braun will moderate the first day of the congress on the topic of “Managing Uncertainty: Data Protection & Data Law in the Digital Age.”
The year 2025 marks the beginning of an era of change, characterized by new governments in the US and Germany as well as global geopolitical developments that require intensive dialogue between authorities, business, and academia.
Innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing are gaining momentum. Data protection and digitization must evolve together and complement each other. European data law, with its various legal acts, is highly complex. The lack of coordination between digital legislation often conflicts with the regulatory content of the GDPR.
A central focus of the 26th Data Protection Congress will be on how to position oneself for the future in the face of ongoing change. Specific topics include the balance between data protection and data-driven innovation and how this can be maintained in a world increasingly shaped by AI.
