Digital sovereignty is no longer a boardroom buzzword, it's become essential for every organization handling data in Europe.
Digital sovereignty is no longer a boardroom buzzword, it's become essential for every organization handling data in Europe. But translating the concept into concrete decisions for your organization? That's where the clarity breaks down.
On 23 September in Ghent, we're unraveling the digital sovereignty debate from four angles: the regulatory landscape, business operations, government infrastructure, and the technology providers who shape it.
Expect practical takeaways on data flows, control, compliance, and what sovereignty means for your specific context not abstractions. After the discussion, there's time to decompress with refreshments and connect with other privacy and security professionals.
