The Computers, Privacy and Data Protection conference (CPDP) is an annual three-day conference devoted to privacy and data protection. The 17th edition of CPDP will be held on the 22nd to 24th of May 2024 in Brussels (Belgium). Whilst a Call for Panels and Call for Papers have been launched, we also encourage participating organisations to submit a proposal for an interactive and participatory workshop to be hosted at CPDP.ai 2024. A wide range of activities can be considered for the workshop programme and all interesting formats that encourage interaction are welcome, but:workshop proposals must address the conference topics as communicated in the Call for Panels, and need to be more interactive than a classical panel in the main program. An additional central requirement for acceptance is that the organiser must intend to learn as much from the audience as the audience can learn from the organiser.
CPDP2024 KEY DATES
We encourage workshops that are well-balanced, multidisciplinary, and geographically and gender diverse. We also welcome different types of sessions such as debates, roundtables, workshops, and other non-conventional formats that enhance participation and interaction in the session. More information about rules for composition and submission can be found below. We kindly ask that all interested partners carefully read and adhere to the rules below. The CPDP Programming Committee reserves the right to propose changes to workshop submissions as a condition for acceptance, or to decline the submission altogether should it continue to not adhere to the rules. Please submit your workshop proposal via the submission form by February 23rd, 2024
Rules on workshop submission and composition
Workshops are allocated 75min slots* in different rooms/setups at CPDP.ai 2024. Please note that organising a workshop involves a fee depending on the size of the audience, the room-setup, equipment needed and catering options (see details further below). The sessions are communicated in the main program of CPDP and on social media. If you opt for a recorded session, these will be archived on the CPDP online archive, accessible and reusable.**
Premium or platinum sponsors are eligible to organise an additional workshop.If you are unsure as to whether your idea fits the open call, or if you have any questions, please contact jonas@privacysalon.org.
*Note: If you need exception on the time requirement (for example a double slot for your workshop), you can mention it in the submission form, and reach out to us to negotiate the conditions.
**Note: Recordings are only possible in the Theatre Room. We ask consent of the organisers and speakers for being recorded. In case you would like your session to be recorded, please ensure that all visible organisers and speakers are aware and agree.
Drinking water will be available to organisers and participants during the workshop session. Other catering options are on demand, and we can make you an offer based on your request.
Please note that a standard set up for session recording is only installed in the Theatre Room. If you want another room to be professionally recorded (audio or audio-visual), please mention this in the submission form and the team will reach out to you.
We are looking forward to your submissions.
