Privacy/Privacy Lab/London
What is Privacy Lab?
Privacy Lab is a regular meetup for privacy minded people to foster communication and collaboration. London Privacy Lab is new and we hope you'll join us! Privacy Lab San Francisco has been meeting for about a year and a half. You can find recordings of their speakers on Air Mozilla.
The goal of these events is to bring together people who work in the privacy space from different perspectives - people who may not regularly talk to each other - policy people, techies, activists, and academics at big companies, startups, universities, libraries, NGO's, foundations, civil society and more - that's one of the benefits of attending. You'll have an hour on the topic of the evening followed by an hour to talk to each other.
If you enjoy talking privacy - so much so that it's related to what you do for a living or how you volunteer your time - this is the event for you.
By attending, you'll be able to hear about what other people and organizations are working on, share what you're doing and look for new opportunities to collaborate and get involved.
Format
We hope to hold London meetings quarterly throughout the year. Locations can rotate and new hosts are always welcome, so if you're interested in volunteering space or time, please let us know. Hosts are typically companies, NGOs and universities with space for 40-100 people and an interest in privacy topics. Larger venues typically include a guest speaker or several lightning talks, whereas smaller venues may focus on workshops or small group discussions.
Typically, the first hour is devoted to speaker(s) and Q&A, while the second hour is an open format designed around informal networking and small group discussions. It's also possible to devote the entire session to a more hands-on participatory workshop.
At some locations, we are able to record the speaker for future viewing. Check Air Mozilla for previous recordings. All of the Privacy Labs that were recorded on Air Mozilla are in the Privacy Channel: https://air.mozilla.org/channels/privacy/
