Launch of the first African data protection and privacy conference in Ghana
Ghana hosts between June 24 and 27 the first African data protection and privacy conference. This event gathers more than 1.000 data protection experts in Accra, Ghana’s capital. According to IAPP, this conference was formed in response to concerns raised at the December 2018 African Union meeting. It aims to move the continent forward in addressing a range of issues, including challenges raised by big data, artificial intelligence, the applicability of the EU General Data Protection Regulation in Africa, and the adoption of a common approach to the cross-border transfer of personal data in Africa
