Geneva ConnectED: Preparing for the future of data protection in an AI world

9 October 2025 | 18:00-20:30CET

Hôtel Métropole Genève
Quai du Général-Guisan 34
Genève, Switzerland

Details

As AI weaves itself deeper into business operations, privacy teams are finding themselves at the center of both new challenges and new opportunities. In particular, the requirements to embed privacy by design, to ensure that individuals can exercise their rights and the implementation of concrete mechanism and tools to achieve privacy from the earliest stages of system development all require additional considerations when AI is involved.

Join us as we kick off Geneva ConnectED, co hosted by Swissprivacy and ASDPO, with a first panel: Congratulations DPO on your Poison Chalice, you’re now ‘Responsible for AI’. Together, we’ll unpack how AI is reshaping core privacy functions – from data subject requests and retention policies to impact assessment and incident response – and what this shift means for scaling compliance across the organization.

Our Privacy in Practice sessions will then bring these themes to life, offering real-world insights on integrating rights by design into AI projects and lessons from privacy teams already leveraging AI with OneTrust. Along the way, we’ll explore how the role of the privacy professionals is evolving in AI governance, where organizations are focusing their efforts today, and what steps can be taken to ensure privacy and individual’s rights protection in an AI-world. 

The evening will close with a reflection from our speakers before we gather for a networking reception with drinks and canapés – a chance to connect with fellow privacy, governance, and compliance professionals in a relaxed setting.
