On September 27, 2000, EPIC and Privacy International hosted a conference, "The Public Voice in Privacy Policy," in Venice, Italy. The meeting was held in conjunction with the annual meeting of the International Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners to begin
on September 28, 2000.
The conference will bring together leading academic experts, NGO leaders, and privacy officials from around the world to explore current issues in privacy protection. Panel discussions will focus on the globalization of surveillance; copyright protection and
privacy; the EU-US negotiations on transborder data flows (Safe Harbor); and the need for an international convention on data protection.
The first of these conferences was held in Sydney in 1992. Subsequent meetings have taken place in Manchester (1993), The Hague (1994), Copenhagen (1995), Ottawa (1996), Brussels (1997), and Hong Kong (1999).
