Motto: Connect · Share · Learn · Protect
European Privacy KnowledgeNet 2026 ran as a full day at ADAC Headquarters in Munich, followed by an informal evening get-together at the westhub bar & lounge (Munich Marriott Hotel City West). Sessions ran in parallel across several rooms, covering data protection, AI governance, cybersecurity and related regulation through presentations, panel discussions and interactive workshops. Photos and, for many sessions, the slides are below.
A big thank you to ADAC for hosting us, and to caralegal for the catering.
