The 2018 edition will focus on two main issues:

• monitoring of illegal content online: notice and action procedures.

The summit is a part of the Privacy Camp 2018.

Hong Kong will host the 39th International Conference of Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners (ICDPPC), which is set to take place at the Kowloon Shangri-La Hotel from 25-29 September 2017. The conference is an annual event which brings together more than one hundred privacy and data protection authorities from across the world to discuss the future of data protection and privacy. It consists of a closed session, for accredited members of the ICDPPC only, as well as an open session, which all members of the international data protection community are welcome to attend.

This year's conference will focus on the theme of connecting the West with the East, addressing the different concepts and regulations relating to privacy in the East and West and the applicability of western models of data protection in Asia and elsewhere.

This workshop, initiated by the EDPS over ten years ago, aims at bringing together International Organisations to:

• Share experience and best practice in the field of data protection and analyse its impact as part of good governance within International Organisations;
• Summarise the most recent regulatory developments at international level in the area of privacy and data protection and analyse the potential implications of such developments for International Organisations;
• Analyse the state of play of data protection within International Organisations;
• Discuss the progress made since the last workshop.

Topics which will be covered at this year's workshop include cloud computing, processing of health data, the role of the Data Protection Officer, and data transfers to International Organisations under the GDPR.
