Keynote:  Digital Privacy: To Protect or Not to Protect,

 That is the Question

How can we start protecting our student data if we haven’t started protecting our personal information online?  Digital privacy and security involve a variety of components, from social media to messaging apps, ISPs to app developers, cloud providers and hardware; and let’s not forget the government agencies. They all have a role in collecting, storing, and sharing your information, for many different reasons. However, when you go down the rabbit hole to protect your data and limit the impact of these entities, we as users have significant decisions (and sacrifices) to make.  Sit back and enjoy Eric Butash and Michael Klein as they play good cop/bad cop, share stories and offer strategies for navigating tough choices and decisions around digital privacy and security. 

Workshops:

Workshops topics will be centered around our theme of Networks, Security and Data Privacy.  A listing of workshops will be posted at www.actem.org as more information becomes available.
