Following the conclusion of its 50% Super Early Bird Special, Umbono Conferences & Events has moved into the next phase of registration for the 2nd Annual Data Privacy & Protection Conference 2027 (DPPC27), with delegates now able to take advantage of a 25% Early Bird Special.

DPPC27 will take place on 27–28 January 2027 at the Indaba Hotel, Fourways, South Africa, bringing together professionals from across the data privacy, legal, compliance, risk, technology, cybersecurity and information-governance sectors.

Taking place under the theme “From Awareness to Action — Shaping Africa’s Trusted Digital Future,” the conference will focus on the practical challenges and opportunities emerging as organisations across Africa navigate increasingly complex data, technology and regulatory environments.

Growing Regional Speaker Line-Up

The DPPC27 programme is continuing to take shape, with a diverse group of industry professionals already confirmed to contribute their expertise to the conference.

Confirmed speakers include:

• Nunudzai Mrewa, Cyber Security Lead, Compulink Systems (Zimbabwe)

• Sanisha Packirisamy, Group Economist, Momentum Group
• Mandisa Freddy, Data Privacy Lead, Standard Bank

The growing speaker line-up reflects the increasingly interconnected nature of privacy, cybersecurity, technology, economics, regulation and business.

With speakers bringing perspectives from banking, technology, cybersecurity, economics and global data protection, DPPC27 will provide delegates with an opportunity to engage with practical experiences and perspectives from across different sectors and markets.

Additional speakers and programme details will be announced as the agenda continues to develop.

DPPC27 aims to move the conversation beyond simply understanding privacy legislation and towards examining how organisations can put effective privacy and data protection practices into action.

Sessions will explore issues including AI and emerging technologies, cybersecurity, data governance, privacy by design, data retention, financial and sensitive personal information, automated decision-making, PAIA, health and insurance data, education and EdTech, SADC regulatory developments and cross-border data flows.

The conference will also examine the relationship between privacy, technology and business, and how organisations can build trusted digital environments while responding to changing regulatory and technological demands.
