EVENT DESCRIPTION The Federal Trade Commission will hold a conference on January 14, 2016 to bring together a diverse group of stakeholders, including whitehat researchers, academics, industry representatives, consumer advocates, academics, and a range of government regulators, to discuss the latest research and trends related to consumer privacy and data security. The FTC is calling for research to be presented at the conference.

Call for Presentations: The FTC is seeking presentations on consumer privacy and security issues in the commercial sector. In particular, we are interested in hearing about research on topics such as:

Connected health and fitness devices or applications Devices or services that incorporate voice-activation technology Smarthomes De-identification Connected vehicles Drones Edu-tech Big data and algorithms Consumers’ attitudes toward, and valuation of, privacy Costs and benefits of privacy-protective technology or behavior Economics of privacy and security Security by design techniques We will provide more detail on the submission process by September 10th.

Please note that the FTC does not offer compensation of any kind to presenters or participants. Because we only have a very limited number of presentation slots, if there is enough interest, we may have an exhibit hall, where selected submitters can display posters and other information about their research.

This event, including all presentations, will be available to the public via a live-stream and on our website in archived video and transcript form.
