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

Listed by IAPP under Seattle, this event is now branded IAPP Privacy. Security. Risk. + AI Governance Global 2026, having merged the AI Governance Global North America strand into its flagship P.S.R. conference. It runs 6–9 October 2026 at the Seattle Convention Center's Arch Building, with two-day training classes on 6–7 October, workshops on 7 October and the main conference on 8–9 October.

The theme is the convergence of privacy, cybersecurity, technology and AI governance law, and it draws a professional audience of privacy and AI-governance practitioners, legal counsel and risk professionals. The site advertises 200-plus speakers, 50-plus sessions and 50-plus exhibitors, with CPE credits available. AI-governance content is substantial: listed sessions cover governing workforce use of public generative AI, guardrails for agentic AI in HR, updating vendor risk reviews for AI-enabled SaaS, and algorithmic pricing as a regulatory battleground. Attendees can also sit the IAPP's AIGP (AI Governance Professional) certification exam on-site on 9 October. Main conference passes are listed from USD 1,445 (member early bird) upward, with separate training and workshop fees. A strong pick for anyone whose remit spans AI compliance, data protection and digital responsibility.
