What is Privacy Lab?

Privacy Lab is a meetup for privacy minded people to foster communication and collaboration. It was founded in January 2015.

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.

Privacy Lab is all volunteer and zero budget. It rotates to different host locations with different topics and speakers. Our events are at night (usually 6-8pm), approximately monthly. Volunteer host locations are typically a mix of corporate, NGOs and local universities.

Next Privacy Lab

  • Feb 19 from 5:30-8pm at Twitter HQ. A Public Conversation on #Privacy. RSVP at Evenbrite.

Future Privacy Lab(s)

  • We've started planning for a privacy on community sites panel at Wikimedia - stay tuned for details!
  • We're volunteer based - help us plan an upcoming Privacy Lab.

Format

Meetings are held monthly throughout the year. Locations rotate and new hosts are always welcome. Hosts are typically companies, NGOs and universities with space for 50-100 people and an interest in privacy topics. Larger venues typically include a guest speaker or several lightning talks, whereas smaller venues may focus on small group discussions. Topics are selected in advance and speakers are often recorded for remote and future viewing.

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.

Location

Privacy Lab is currently in San Francisco, California. It rotates around to several locations based on volunteers who offer to host. With more volunteers, we would love to expand to new geographies. 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/

See below for Privacy Lab's global locations and let us know if you'd like to help start a new one.
