IAPP Privacy. Security. Risk. + AI Governance Global 2026

IAPP Privacy. Security. Risk. + AI Governance Global 2026 runs 6-9 October 2026 at the Seattle Convention Center's Arch Building. It is the only IAPP event that merges the long-running PSR programme with AI Governance Global, and the week is structured in layers: two-day training classes on 6-7 October, day-long and half-day workshops on 7 October, the main conference on 8-9 October with 200+ speakers across 50+ sessions, and an on-site AI Governance Professional certification exam on 9 October. Session tracks cover AI governance and ethics, model and data governance, agentic AI guardrails, vendor and third-party risk, privacy engineering, privacy-enhancing technologies, breach response, critical-infrastructure cybersecurity, biometrics and health data, children's privacy, and federal and international regulatory developments. Attendance earns 12+ CPE credits, and 50+ exhibitors staff the hall.

If your organisation has to answer to a regulator about how it governs AI, this is the week the answer gets written. A CPO or CISO leaves with an AI governance framework grounded in what enforcement is actually looking at, an AIGP-certified staff member if you send someone through the exam track, and a read on which vendors in the 50+ exhibitor hall have real audit and model-governance capability rather than a compliance-flavoured dashboard. The training-plus-conference structure means the trip returns certified capability, not just notes.

• ✓Two-day training classes, 6-7 October
• ✓Day-long and half-day workshops, 7 October
• ✓Main conference programme, 8-9 October: 50+ sessions and 200+ speakers

• ★The only conference that runs IAPP's Privacy. Security. Risk. programme and AI Governance Global as one integrated agenda, so privacy, security and AI governance teams attend together instead of in three separate weeks
• ★IAPP is itself the certifying body, so training classes, workshops and an on-site AI Governance Professional (AIGP) exam on 9 October are bookable in the same trip
• ★12+ CPE credits, which matters for the legal and compliance audience the event is built for
• ★Agenda is written from the practitioner side rather than the vendor side, with tracks on privacy engineering, PETs and breach response alongside regulatory updates
• ★Layered pricing lets you buy only the training, only the workshops, or the full week
