CPDP LatAm 2026

 Privacy Law Scholars Conference LatAm

The Privacy Law Scholars Conference – Latin America (PLSC LatAm) is the Latin American edition of the Privacy Law Scholars Conference (PLSC), a closed meeting aimed at academics, researchers, and professionals in the law and social sciences who produce work on privacy, data protection, and digital governance.

Its goal is to offer a restricted space where authors can submit articles in progress, receive detailed peer reviews, and enhance their research before official publication in the special issues of participating academic journals.

The event is organized in paper presentation sessions followed by intensive debate; Participation is usually limited to those who submitted accepted submissions, ensuring the unprecedented character of the work in progress and an environment of high academic quality.
