We are excited to host you for #PrivacyCamp26 online and at La Tricoterie, Brussels on 13 October 2026. For the 14th edition of Privacy Camp , we’ll collectively explore questions around where technologies come from, who gets to shape them, and how meaningful digital self-determination can be made possible through the theme ‘The Origins of Future Technologies: Towards communities of digital self-determination’.
