Privacy/Privacy Lab/Berlin

What is Privacy Lab?

Privacy Lab is a meetup for privacy minded people to foster communication and collaboration. Berlin 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, typically with speaker(s) and Q&A, 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 - these are the events for you.

Format

We hope to hold Berlin 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/

• May 25, 2016, 6-8pm at Mozilla Berlin Office. The topic is an IoT and Privacy workshop. The workshop will be led by Mozilla's Michael Henretty. Capacity is 40 people. We'll be working as a group to hack this IoT research and complete a fun brainstorming activity to explore the information we'd like to have about how our personal data is being collected, viewed and used
