What is DataGrail Summit?

For the second year in a row, we’ll be hosting the DataGrail Summit, an unparalleled one-day event bringing together the brightest minds in the security, legal, and privacy fields. Join us on August 27th at the Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay, to explore the future of responsible innovation. You’ll be able to enjoy the stunning Northern California landscape & beaches while networking and engaging in meaningful conversations with executives from the world’s leading brands.

If you’d like to stay the night, attendees will receive discounted lodging at the Ritz-Carlton. We encourage you to make a weekend out of your stay to enjoy the resort’s world-class golf course and spa amenities.

Hear From Policy and Privacy Experts 

The event kicks off with a networking happy hour on August 26th where you’ll get a head start on connecting with the thought leaders, security gurus, and legal virtuosos shaping today’s data privacy landscape.

Sam Sabin (Cybersecurity Reporter at Axios) will moderate a discussion with Keith Enright (Vice President and CPO at Google), Troy Tazbaz (Director of Digital Health at FDA), and Stacey Schesser (Supervising Deputy Attorney General at the California Department of Justice) about how to maneuver the latest AI and privacy regulations. This can’t-miss session will unpack the nuances of emerging laws, the impact of federal vs. state level policymaking, and offer tips on navigating these complex regulatory times.

Kirsten Daru (Chief Legal and Privacy Officer at Netgear) will share her winning strategies for building effective cross-functional privacy & risk councils. She’ll reveal the secrets to getting ahead of regulatory changes and turning privacy into a competitive differentiator.

But that’s not all. Tune into a conversation with Tarun Gangwani (Principal Product Manager at DataGrail), Shannon Yavorsky (Global Chair of Cyber, Privacy & Data Innovation at Orrick) and Ty Sbano (Information Security Executive at Vercel) as they talk through the complexities of modern consent, marketing and data privacy expectations. 

Not only will you hear from policy and privacy experts, but you will also gain practical guidance on how to leverage the next wave of technology. By attending DataGrail Summit, you’ll learn how to integrate the most recent developments in GenAI while maintaining a strong commitment to data privacy, security, and regulatory compliance.

The agenda for our conference is designed to cover the evolving landscape of Gen AI and its consequences to privacy and consumer data protection. Take a look at some of our confirmed speakers here:

Announcing our Keynote Speaker

We’re also thrilled to share that Frances Haugen, renowned Transparency & Accountability Advocate, will be our keynote speaker at the 2024 DataGrail Summit!  

Celebrated for her groundbreaking work in promoting openness and accountability within the tech industry, Frances will share her insights on how to innovate responsibly and respectfully, a topic that’s more crucial than ever as we navigate the future of data privacy and AI. 

During her time at Facebook, Frances became increasingly alarmed by the choices the company made when prioritizing their own profits over public safety and putting people’s lives at risk. As a last resort and at great personal risk, Frances made the courageous decision to blow the whistle on Facebook. Frances fundamentally believes that the problems we are facing today with social media are solvable. We can have social media that brings out the best in humanity.

Drawing from her experiences at Facebook, Frances will provide a roadmap for organizations to embrace transparency, uphold accountability, and build trust when it comes to data privacy, AI, and respecting consumer expectations.
