Welcome Reception

Date: 10th June | Monday 

Time: 18:00 – 19:30  

Description: We will inaugurate the third edition of the Privacy Symposium at the Official Welcome Reception. It is a perfect way to start a week full of insightful sessions and open dialogue while embracing the artistic brilliance of Venice. Get inspired by the unique artwork of the famous Venetian painter Tintoretto and use this opportunity to meet professionals from all backgrounds and engage in fruitful discussions. 

The reception will also feature “Privacy MelodIA”, an original musical composition on data protection to present the intriguing intersection of privacy and artificial intelligence in the realm of music. As AI algorithms increasingly shape how music is created, distributed, and consumed, questions surrounding data privacy, ownership, and user consent have emerged as critical considerations. 

Please have in mind that you are not allowed to smoke during the reception, touch any paintings, sculptures, or bring your own food or drinks.
