Privacy/Privacy Lab

What is Privacy Lab?

Privacy Lab is a meetup for privacy minded people in San Francisco, Ca.

The aim of these events is to bring together privacy professionals and those interested in privacy at non-profits, for-profits, and NGOs alike to foster communication and collaboration. By attending, you'll be able to hear about what other people and organizations are working on and find out how to get involved.

Format

Quarterly meetings are held at Mozilla's San Francisco Office and include a guest speaker. The speaker is recorded for remote and future viewing.

Monthly meetings are held at alternate locations, where we have volunteers willing to host.

Location

Privacy Lab is currently in San Francisco, California. With more volunteers, we would love to expand to new geographies. At our quarterly meetings, we are often able to record the speaker for future viewing, as we did for our January 2015 speaker.

How to Attend Privacy Lab

To attend, simply click on the registration link. Note that by registering, you will be added to our distribution list, so we can send you an email reminder. You can unsubscribe at any time.
