Presenter Submissions

The conference program committee invited submissions of proposals and completed papers that explore the intersection of data privacy and public policy. We welcomed abstracts addressing data privacy issues in any of the following three topic areas:

Theory and Methods – Examples include:

• Development of novel statistical or computational data-privacy methods
• Assessment of benefits, limitations, and tradeoffs of disclosure-control techniques
• Advances in privacy risk measurement, modeling, or evaluations

Applications and Infrastructure – Examples include:

• Applications of emerging privacy-enhancing technologies or statistical disclosure-limitation methods
• Design, deployment, or evaluation of privacy-protecting data infrastructures (e.g., secure data enclaves, synthetic data, public-use microdata files)
• Needs, use cases, or examples of Federal, State, or Local government privacy frameworks

Law and Public Policy – Examples include:

• Interpretation, implementation, or impact assessment of data privacy laws, regulations, and governance frameworks
• Identification of gaps between policy requirements and existing privacy-enhancing tools
• Analyses of regulatory compliance challenges or policy implications of new privacy technologies

See the 2024 Program for examples of work that was presented previously. Abstracts based on papers that are already published were welcomed, but must be published recently (2024 or later). If your abstract is accepted, you consent to having your abstract made publicly available on the conference website.
