About This Event

IAPP Global Summit 2027 runs 21-24 March 2027 at the Marriott Marquis Washington, D.C. and the connected Walter E. Washington Convention Center. It is the IAPP's flagship gathering, subtitled 'Privacy | AI governance | Cybersecurity law', and the IAPP describes it as the world's largest annual gathering of digital responsibility professionals. Training and workshops occupy 21-22 March, and the main conference runs 23-24 March. The published programme shape is 35+ sessions with 120+ speakers, roughly 25 exhibitors and up to 12 CPE credits; third-party event listings put attendance at around 4,500. AI governance is one of the three named programme pillars rather than a side track, and the 2027 call for proposals has already closed with submissions under review.

Who Should Attend

  • Chief Privacy Officers
  • Data Protection Officers
  • AI governance leads
  • Privacy counsel and general counsel
  • CISOs
  • Regulators and policy staff

Why Attend

This is where the people who will sign off on your AI deployment gather — regulators, DPOs, outside counsel and the AI governance leads writing enterprise policy. For a CIO or CTO the value is calibration: what privacy and AI regulators are actually enforcing, how peer organisations are structuring AI oversight, and which controls a privacy office will and will not accept. Four days in Washington, with two of them hands-on training, and you leave with a defensible governance position, up to 12 CPE credits, and the counsel relationships that shorten the next review cycle rather than lengthen it.

Event Features

  • Main conference, 23-24 March 2027
  • Workshop day, 22 March 2027
  • Training days, 21-22 March 2027
  • 35+ conference sessions

What Makes This Unique

  • The IAPP's flagship event, described by the organiser as the world's largest annual gathering of digital responsibility professionals
  • AI governance is one of three named pillars — privacy, AI governance and cybersecurity law — not an add-on track
  • Two full days of workshops and training sit ahead of the conference, so the ticket buys practitioner instruction as well as sessions
  • Held in Washington, D.C., which puts US regulators, policy staff and outside counsel in the same room
  • Up to 12 CPE credits toward IAPP certifications
