IAPP Global Summit 2027
by IAPP (International Association of Privacy Professionals)
Privacy, AI governance and cybersecurity law, in the city where the regulators are
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.

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.
