Call for Panels

Data Protection, Cooperation, and Innovation in Latin America

This call focuses on debates organized by academic groups, research projects, think-tanks, civil society organizations, public authorities, intergovernmental organizations, corporations and other research organizations.

The CPDP LatAm 2023 edition focuses on Data Protection, Cooperation, and Innovation in Latin America. The event will serve as a platform to foster the discussion and elaboration of solutions regarding the issues raised by legislative productions, business and government practices, new concepts, recent events and much more. CPDP LatAm will include a track dedicated to the Latin American meeting of MyData, in which innovative approaches and data protection concepts will be explored.

SUBMISSION RATE FOR ORGANIZATIONS, EXEMPTION AND SUPPORT

It is important to note that the institutions, organizations or research projects that are chosen will be considered as partners of the CPDP LatAm 2023 event. This means that the partner of the event will be available to finance all costs of the panel’s speakers, in addition to paying a contribution fee for the organization of the conference in the amount of USD 150. In return, the partner will receive a series of benefits such as: brand recognition on the website; insertion of material in the conference package; and the complete registration of the panel participants at the conference (so the speakers of the session organized by the partner will receive a link for free registration for the three days). Non-profit organizations that are unable to afford the event fee may get in touch after submitting the panel’s proposal to request an exemption of the registration fee.

Speakers whose session proposals have already been accepted and who need funding should contact us until June 20, 2023.

RULES FOR SUBMISSION AND COMPOSITION OF PANELS

Make sure that you can afford the financial conditions for the submission of the panel (fee of USD 150) or explicitly request support during the submission process. Also make sure that all speakers and moderators can afford travel and accommodation costs.
Each panel may have a maximum of four speakers and a moderator. Proposals from more than four speakers will be considered, but please note that this will increase the fee to be paid by the panel to USD 200.
Participants cannot accumulate speaker and moderator roles in the same panel, and must perform only one role.
Each participant can become, at most, speaker of two sessions and moderator of another session.
The same person cannot participate as a speaker in more than two panels at CPDP LatAm.
Each panel will have a total duration of 75 minutes and a minimum of 30 minutes of each session must be reserved for questions and answers.
If you would like to propose an alternative format for the panel, please contact the Programming Committee.
The organizer cannot have more than two participants on the panel.
Each panel must be balanced in terms of gender and geographic origin, comprising at least two women and no more than two people from the same country, with at least representatives from three different countries. The panel must also be diverse in the disciplinary and sectoral spheres, not only containing lawyers or academics or representatives of companies.
If you have a special reason to propose a panel that does not meet these terms, contact us and we will consider your request.
The panels must be consolidated by the end of May 2023. If a panel still has many pending issues by the deadline, the CPDP LatAm Organization reserves the right to intervene and take control to ensure the viability of the panel.
