The Sedona Conference Working Group 11 Annual Meeting 2026 is a premier event focused on data security and privacy liability, organized by The Sedona Conference, a nonprofit research and educational institute dedicated to advancing law and policy. This annual meeting brings together legal professionals, policymakers, and industry experts to discuss and develop best practices in the field.
Key topics for the 2026 meeting include unique procedural aspects of data breach class actions, the second edition of the Data Privacy Primer, onward transfer of consumer personally identifiable information in mergers and acquisitions and bankruptcy contexts, application of attorney-client privilege in cybersecurity, and legislative drafting considerations, particularly lessons from Colorado's privacy and artificial intelligence law intersection.
The event will feature sessions such as a Privacy and Data Security Regulator Roundtable, a Privacy and Data Security Litigation Update, and a Working Group 11 Town Hall. Attendees will have opportunities to engage with dialogue leaders from various sectors, including law firms, government agencies, and academia, fostering a collaborative environment for knowledge sharing and networking.
Legal professionals, data privacy experts, and policymakers should attend to stay abreast of the latest developments in data security and privacy law, contribute to the development of influential commentaries, and network with peers dedicated to advancing the field.
