Announcement of the second Privacy Open Space Conference in Berlin, 1-3 April 2009.

After the successful finish of the first year of the EU-funded project Privacy Open Space (PrivacyOS) the project starts the New Year with the announcement of the Second PrivacyOS Conference.

As the first PrivacyOS Conference in October 2008 in the European Parliament in Strasbourg was co-located with the International Conference of Privacy and Data Protection Commissioners, also the second PrivacyOS Conference will be held alongside with "re:publica", a conference to establish collective interfaces with other EU projects as well as national and international networks.

After the positive feedback on the first conference, the second PrivacyOS Conference will also follow the Open Space approach and therefore invites all participants to bring topics to the agenda. "It leaves room for spontaneous creation of new workshops during the conference which reflects the dynamics of the discussion among participants" says Jan Schallaböck, the project Manager of PrivacyOS. "Only a set of timeslots is predefined. The topics for each of the slots are introduced and moderated by the participants themselves." This approach ensures that all topics relevant to the participants are included and that fields of common interest can be detected and worked on, while taking into account different perspectives across Europe and beyond.

The second PrivacyOS Conference will focus on "Enabling Privacy on the Web". Visitors of the "re:publica" are invited to partly join the Open Space slots and to discuss with the PrivacyOS Project Partners about privacy issues or their experiences on this field. Thereby, an opportunity to articulate and exchange best practices, challenges and solutions is given.

The conference primarily addresses legal and technical IT experts, interested manufacturers of IT products or services as well as data protection authorities. All persons interested in privacy or data protection aspects are welcome to register for the event.
