A professional conference for privacy, security and risk professionals, featuring over 210 speakers and 50+ sessions on digital responsibility and AI governance.
IAPP Privacy. Security. Risk. 2026 runs from October 6 to 9 at the Seattle Convention Center, 705 Pike St, in the heart of downtown. It's a big gathering for people working in privacy, technology, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity law, with a focus on digital responsibility and AI governance. If you're navigating the complexities of digital trust for a living, this is where you'll find your crowd.
The scale of the thing is pretty substantial. More than 210 speakers are presenting across more than 50 sessions, so there's a lot to pick from over the four days. If you're keeping up with your professional development, you can earn 12 or more CPEs while you're here. The sessions cover the intersection of privacy and security, and the AI governance piece is a major part of the conversation this year.
One thing to keep in mind is that it's not just one event. IAPP AI Governance Global is co-located with it, and that side of things focuses specifically on responsible AI development and deployment. It brings in more than 50 exhibitors, so there's a trade show element running alongside the sessions. Between the two, you've got the broader privacy and security discussions and a dedicated space for the AI side of the house.
