Privacy Lab is a meetup for privacy minded people to foster communication and collaboration. It was founded in Jan. 2015.


The goal of these events is to bring together people who work in the privacy space from different perspectives - people who may not regularly talk to each other - policy people, techies, activists, and academics at big companies, startups, universities, libraries, NGO's, foundations, civil society and more - that's one of the benefits of attending.  You'll have an hour on the topic of the evening followed by an hour to talk to each other.

Privacy Lab is all volunteer and zero budget. It rotates to different host locations with different topics and speakers. Our events are at night (usually 6-8pm), approximately monthly. Volunteer host locations are typically a mix of corporate, NGOs and local universities.
