DPPC27 | From Awareness to Action — Shaping Africa’s Trusted Digital Future

The Data Privacy & Protection Conference 2027 (DPPC27) is taking shape. With an agenda focused on the real privacy, data protection, and digital challenges organisations are navigating today.

Taking place 27–28 January 2027 at the Indaba Hotel, Fourways, DPPC27 will bring together professionals across privacy, legal, compliance, risk, technology, cybersecurity and information governance for two days of practical conversations, insights and knowledge-sharing.

What can you expect at DPPC27?

• Data Protection in Practice: Navigating increasingly complex regulatory requirements, cross-border data flows and regional cooperation across Africa.
• Privacy, AI & Emerging Technology: Exploring responsible AI, automated decision-making, privacy by design and the impact of emerging technologies on data protection.
• Cybersecurity, Risk & Trust: Looking at the intersection between privacy, security, resilience and building trust in an increasingly digital environment.
• Financial Services, Insurance & Health Data: Examining how organisations can responsibly manage sensitive information while balancing business needs, innovation and regulatory obligations.
• Africa & SADC Privacy Developments: Discussing regional developments, regulatory alignment and what greater cooperation could mean for organisations operating across borders.
• From Compliance to Capability: Moving beyond policies and checklists to embed privacy into technology, business processes and organisational decision-making.

We’re continuing to shape the agenda with industry practitioners, regulators and subject-matter experts to create conversations that go beyond theory and focus on what organisations can actually do.

And if you’re planning to attend, now is the time to secure your place.
