«Being a DPO in 2025: between regulatory storm and strategic opportunity».»
In five years, the role of the DPO has changed profoundly. After gaining visibility with the RGPD, he is now facing a veritable regulatory tsunami (DSA, AI Act, Data Governance Act...). DPOs have to deal with limited resources, internal resistance and a demanding regulatory watch.
Yet their role has never been so strategic: in a context where every data breach makes the headlines, DPOs turn constraints into competitive advantages. The great challenge remains to move from the status of mere compliance guardian to that of genuine strategic business partner.
Nathalie Ragheno - Lawyer, FEB Senior Advisor
«What data protection has taught us about AI governance».»
At a time when artificial intelligence is transforming our practices, what lessons can we learn from the RGPD to guide its development? This conference explores the bridges between regulation and innovation, and shows how the principles of the RGPD can inspire responsible, ethical and human-centric AI governance. Come and discover how compliance can go hand in hand with trust and performance!

«Mastering the data lifecycle: an asset for meeting the strategic challenges facing organizations».»
Collection, identification, retention, integrity, deletion, archiving... Controlling the data lifecycle is not just an operational requirement: it's a strategic lever for strengthening personal data protection. The legal framework and good data governance practices offer DPOs not only the tools to achieve RGPD compliance, but also the opportunity to turn it into a real asset for the organization.
