Almost three years ago, the Games GDPR Taskforce met in Berlin in May 2018 to usher in the unknown world of GDPR. Three years later, a lot has happened on data regulation -- above and beyond GDPR -- both within the technology industry but also specifically within gaming. EGDF and Neogames provide you with a compact overview of the changes the games industry data flows have faced over those past three years -- and where we go from here: new regulations and fragmentation of data value chain in mobile games ecosystem.

The events take place from March 16th to March 18th. Each event starts at 08:00 in San Francisco time, 13:00 in Sao Paolo time, 16:00 in London time, 17:00 in Berlin time, 18:00 in Helsinki time and 19:00 in Moscow time. They are open for everyone but require registration (one registration covers all three events). The organisers will send webinar links to those who have registered.

Chatham House Rules apply in the events.
