Privacy Professionals Asked to Participate
in Data Privacy Day 2008

Durham, NC - On January 28, North America will join 27 European 
countries in a Data Privacy Day 2008 celebration to raise awareness and 
promote understanding of data privacy issues.  An international academic 
conference at Duke University Law School and privacy-related activities 
in schools across the nation will anchor the day's events.

The observance is organized by the International Association of Privacy 
Professionals (IAPP).  Financial support is provided by Intel, 
Microsoft, Google, Quintiles, Proctor & Gamble, Oracle and IBM.

IAPP is encouraging privacy professionals to help teachers educate young 
people about important privacy issues during January and February.  They 
are urged to contact their area middle schools, high schools, and 
universities and volunteer to talk to students.  A “Teen Privacy Online” 
presentation to guide discussions in grades 7-12 and "Privacy Today" for 
a university and general audience, along with links to other resources, 
are available at http://www.privacyassociation.org.

Duke Law School's day-long conference on "Data Privacy in Transatlantic 
Perspective: Conflict or Cooperation?" is open to all interested persons 
and there is no registration fee.  However, there is limited seating. 
Please email Conference Coordinator Sharon Peters at 
sharon.peters at duke.edu if you plan to attend.  For details and 
logistical information, go to http://www.jhfc.duke.edu/ces/.

The U.S. and Europe hold differing views on privacy, which makes this 
conference a rare opportunity to further the international discussion 
about the future of privacy.  It will bring together privacy experts 
from academia, international corporations and governments in the United 
States and Europe.  Among them are representatives of the U.S. Federal 
Trade Commission, U. S. Dept. of Homeland Security, Interpol and the 
European Union.  Panelists from academia will include researchers from 
the Duke Law School, North Carolina State University and University of 
North Carolina at Chapel Hill.  Also, a couple of members of CPON are 
serving on panels.

The conference will carry six hours of Continuing Legal Education (CLE) 
credit for 2007 or 2008.
