Since 2016, the Nordic Privacy Arena (NPA) has been the leading forum for discussing data protection and privacy challenges, regulatory developments, and their practical implementation in the Nordics. In 2026, these topics are more crucial than ever.
Today’s private and public organisations aim to innovate and become more efficient while staying compliant, managing risks and maintaining stakeholder trust. On top of this, Europe faces growing geopolitical challenges.
At this year’s NPA, we ask ourselves how to be accountable in times like these. Which approaches work and which don’t?
The Nordic Privacy Arena aims to be part of the privacy professional’s journey. We bring you the tools that enable you to tackle these crucial issues in your day-to-day work. Join us at Nordic Privacy Arena 2026, to be part of a two-day exploration of these issues and more!
