REFORMING DATA PROTECTION: THE GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE

CPDP2014 welcomed 841 guests to the conference. Over 500 more people came to the free public events organized during the conference evenings. These events were also well attended by the regular conference participants who appreciated these more relaxed side events. The 3 day conference offered participants 60 panels and, workshops and special sessions with 343 speakers from academia, public and private sectors and civil society.

‍Our conference website was visited 11.125 times (+15%), by +10% unique visitors who read a stunning 33.427 pages (+34%) from 1 January till today. Our busiest day was Tuesday 21 January, when we had 1147 visitors exactly (a new record +20%) - in fact we counted already 12 days with more than 500 visitors! (figures of 28th January 2014) These figures and the output of the conference make us feel that we are responding to the mission of CPDP: “creating a platform animated by privacy stakeholders”. Youtube: for those of you who missed them, we have uploaded videos of many panels to our YouTube-channel.
