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

The International Association of Privacy Professionals holds its combined Privacy. Security. Risk. and AI Governance Global conference at the Summit building of the Seattle Convention Center on October 8 and 9.

AI governance is a full track rather than an add-on here. The programme covers how organisations actually govern deployed AI systems: risk assessment frameworks, the emerging regulatory picture in the US and EU, model documentation and audit, and the operational controls that privacy and security teams are being asked to build around AI products. The audience skews toward practitioners with real compliance obligations, which makes it a different room from Seattle's builder meetups.

This is a paid professional conference with tiered pricing and IAPP member rates. Registration, the full agenda and current pricing are on the IAPP conference site. The Summit building is at 900 Pine Street, a short walk from the convention centre's Pike Street facility.
