The CNPD will be actively contributing to this year’s Privacy Symposium in Venice (20.04.2026 – 24.04.2026), engaging with the international privacy community on key challenges shaping digital governance.
🤝 We are also pleased that the Symposium is held under the patronage of the CNPD, reflecting our continued commitment to supporting high-level international dialogue on data protection and digital regulation.
Throughout the week, our teams will intervene across multiple high-level sessions covering:
🔹 Digital governance and regulatory innovation
🔹 GDPR certification and cross-border enforcement
🔹 Financial risk of non-compliance
🔹 Cybersecurity and emerging threats
👉 We will also co-organise two booths dedicated to regulatory compliance tools and GDPR certification, fostering practical exchanges with stakeholders and practitioners.
📍 You can meet us at the Exhibition Area, where the CNPD will host a stand throughout the event.
