The main conference will be held in Brussels in October and will focus on digital ethics.
More information can be found here: <a href="https://icdppc.org/news-events/forthcoming-conference-updates/" target="_blank">https://icdppc.org/news-<wbr>events/forthcoming-conference-<wbr>updates/<br></a><br></div>Before the last ICDPPC, I shared information regarding a joint civil society letter which was presented to the Conference organisers, calling for a more open, inclusive and transparent process for civil society engagement in the Conference. Thanks to those who supported the letter - it can be found <a href="https://www.accessnow.org/civil-society-global-joint-statement-international-conference-data-protection-privacy-commissioners/" target="_blank">on the Access Now website</a> and also here on bestbits: <a href="https://bestbits.net/icdppc/" target="_blank">https://bestbits.net/icdppc/</a><br><br></div>The letter resulted in a response from the hosts of the next Conference and which can be found here:

<br><br></div>The hosts have also set up a multistakeholder advisory committee to inform the organisation of the next Conference, with two civil society 'slots'. I shared details of the call on Bestbits and can inform you that Fanny Hidvegi (Access Now) and Valeria Milanes (ADC) were selected to sit on the committee. <br><br></div><div>Civil society groups that have engaged in previous conferences have set up a mailing list. The main aim of the mailing list is to coordinate ahead of the conference
as well as support the two CSOs who are part of the Organising
Committee as they take on their roles rather than for it to be a general
mailing list.
If you are interested, please feel free to subscribe for this mailing list at the following link <a href="https://mailman.edri.org/mailman/listinfo/icdppc" target="_blank">https://mailman.edri.org/<wbr>mailman/listinfo/icdppc</a>
