Safeguarding Africa’s Digital Future - Why You Shouldn’t Miss the Data Privacy & Protection Conference 2026

Written by: Umbono Conferences and Events Save to Instapaper

In today’s digital economy, data is the new currency, and protecting it has never been more urgent. With AI, cloud adoption, and cross-border digital trade reshaping how businesses operate, regulators and industry leaders are under pressure to ensure that privacy and compliance frameworks keep pace with these developments.

The Data Privacy & Protection Conference 2026 is set to take place on 28-29 January 2026 at the Indaba Hotel, Fourways, South Africa. Will bring together policymakers, regulators, executives, compliance experts, and technology leaders for two days of insightful discussions, case studies, and practical strategies.

What you can expect:

  • Regulatory updates from across Africa and beyond
  • Expert panels on AI regulation, data governance, and cross-border compliance
  • Practical case studies on privacy risk management and digital trust
  • Networking with leading privacy professionals, legal experts, and regulators

If your organisation collects, manages, or protects customer data, this is the must-attend event to stay ahead of evolving regulations, build resilience, and drive trust in the digital age.
