About the Event

GDPR 2 Years On | What has been achieved? What challenges remain?

Against the backdrop of the release of the European Commission’s two-year review of the GDPR now delayed until June, key policymakers and experts joined this virtual event to take stock of the benefits the regulation has unleashed, share their views on the gaps that remain to be addressed, and discuss how they have been impacted by the regulation in the past two years. The session also asked how outstanding challenges and concerns around compliance and enforcement alignment across Member States can be best addressed and will debate issues around the capacity and resilience of the GDPR in facing continuous development of new data-driven innovations. In the context of the current health crisis relating to the Covid-19 outbreak, speakers  also examined areas of the regulation that may already need rethinking to enable Europe to fully foster the benefits that data-enabled innovation can bring to our society.

Key Themes:

  • Implementation, supervision and enforcement 
  • Successes and shortcoming of the one-stop-shop mechanism
  • Effectiveness of enforcement by DPAs 
  • GDPR & individual trust 
  • Impacts on European businesses
  • Responsiveness to new privacy considerations in AI
  • The shaping of new technology around GDPR requirements
  • Areas that have been identified where further progress or rethinking is necessary
