IAPP Global Summit 2022 Report
Celebrating the joy of reconnecting was the theme of the opening address by Trevor Hughes, President and CEO of IAPP. This year’s Global Privacy Summit had over 4,000 attendees and took place over four jam-packed days in Washington DC. The Opening General Session got off to a flying start with three very different and thought-provoking key notes. Bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell highlighted the lessons to be learned from his recent book “The Bomber Mafia”. Warning against asking the wrong questions and solving the wrong problems, he noted that technology takes time to evolve and that “visionaries need help” with practical application. Gladwell urged the audience to be humble about what technology can do and patient before deploying well-intended technological innovations with uncharted moral consequences.
