Department of Commerce Privacy Day

Join the Department of Commerce for Data Privacy Day 2021! Hosted by the DOC Office of Privacy and Open Government (OPOG), this event aims to promote privacy and best practices for data protection and seek out the industry exhibitors to identify and discuss solutions to the agency's data threats. 

Data Protection Day commemorates the Jan. 28, 1981 signing of Convention 108, the first legally binding international treaty dealing with privacy and data protection. “Spearheaded each year by the National Cybersecurity Alliance (NCSA), [Data Privacy Day] is part of a greater campaign that promotes awareness of the importance of privacy, highlights easy ways to protect personal information and reminds organizations that privacy is good for business.”

Privacy is one of the most significant projects for the federal government right now. The three areas most likely in need of help are cybersecurity, application integration and data privacy. 84% of consumers say they want more control over their data. Check out these additional Data Privacy quick facts from MediaPro.

This is a perfect opportunity for all companies specializing in application integration, security and privacy to participate. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to meet a diverse group of professionals, who are actively searching for products/services that can help the DOC, while still protecting Americans' identifying information. 

All employees of the Department of Commerce Headquarters are encouraged to attend. This event will also be promoted to all DOC bureaus, so expect 150 or more attendees from all departments within the agency.
