2026 IAB Privacy Compliance Salon

Join us on October 7, 2026, for the third annual IAB Privacy Compliance Salon—an exclusive, salon-style gathering where privacy compliance takes center stage. This intimate event continues to bring together leading attorneys, privacy professionals, and compliance executives from across the digital advertising ecosystem for candid, solutions-focused discussions on today’s most pressing privacy and regulatory challenges.
This year’s program will explore key issues shaping privacy compliance, including accountability and third-party risk management (TPRM), regulatory enforcement trends, the evolving treatment of sensitive personal data, minors’ and teen privacy protections, and practical approaches to implementing privacy requirements across organizations. Attendees will also have the opportunity to hear directly from regulators and engage in meaningful dialogue about emerging expectations and compliance priorities.
Through expert-led panels, interactive discussions, and peer-to-peer networking, participants will gain actionable insights, share best practices, and build valuable connections with fellow privacy and legal professionals. Designed for senior practitioners and decision-makers, the Privacy Compliance Salon provides a unique forum to navigate the complexities of today’s privacy landscape and prepare for what lies ahead.
