Purpose of the Network
Nearly a decade after the GDPR came into force, data protection remains a strategic and operational priority for businesses across all sectors. Far from diminishing its relevance, the emergence of new European digital regulations, covering online platforms, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence, together with a growing body of case law, has placed data privacy at the core of the EU’s digital regulatory architecture.List of topics for next season:
- Risk management in data protection/digital law
- The accountability principle and the risk-based approach
- Data protection impact assessment (DPIA)
- Enforcement
- Size of fines
- Other enforcement actions
- The increasing risk of collective redress (“class action”)
- Data protection law evolution
- Relevant recent case law and guidelines (national courts / data protection authority and Court of Justice of the European Union)
- The EU data protection related Omnibus proposals
- Other data related legislative initiatives
- Cross-border personal data transfer
- Adequacy related solutions
- Exploring safeguards (standard contractual clauses, binding corporate rules, etc.)
- Reviewing derogations
- Data protection officers
- Appointment requirements (triggers and qualifications)
- Independence
- Role and management reporting
- Resources
Who is the target group?
This group brings together managers, Data Protection Officers (DPOs), IT Directors, and Heads of Legal and Compliance, as well as other senior leaders tasked with shaping and overseeing data protection both strategically and operationally within their organisations.What do the participants gain from this network?
For participants, the network offers a trusted space to deepen their understanding of fast-evolving privacy and digital regulations, to exchange perspectives with peers facing comparable challenges, and to gain early insight into regulatory and enforcement trends. It also provides an opportunity to build meaningful professional connections, strengthening networks across sectors and disciplines. The network enables practitioners to refine their perspective on complex, cross-cutting issues while enhancing their professional profile in an increasingly strategic field. For organisations, participation supports more informed decision-making by translating legal and regulatory developments into practical risk-management and compliance strategies. It facilitates benchmarking, promotes best practices across sectors, and helps anticipate regulatory change, ultimately enabling organisations to navigate digital transformation with greater legal certainty and resilience.How do our network groups work?
Our network groups provide you with access to a special form of learning where learning and professional sparring are central. In our network groups, our members develop together during the season, which consists of four face-to-face meetings per year. These four annual meetings form a unique learning forum characterized by knowledge, skill development, and inspiration.
To ensure professionalism is central, we have made sure that all meetings in our network groups are led by network leaders who are leading experts in the respective network topic.
All participants receive a folder with the relevant documents and materials such as presentations, playbooks, etc.
Our networks are officially recognised by the OVB

Legal network groups with a high level of professional expertise
Here, you not only gain access to exclusive networking opportunities, but also the assurance of speakers who are closely connected to our members. This makes our network stronger than traditional education — a dynamic forum where professionals come together to share experiences within their field.
Our legal network groups always highlight current issues and perspectives that are relevant to the participants. From the very first meeting, we incorporate your input, ensuring that the topics always reflect the ongoing developments within the field.
How do you benefit from a network?
You have the opportunity to stay up-to-date with the latest legislation and rulings.
Establish new professional contacts outside your workplace to strengthen your network.
Gain unique insights and best practices from other network members.
Receive advice and discuss with other professionals in the same field.
Each network meeting counts as 5 continuing professional development (CPD) points for lawyers. This means that, as a lawyer, you will have accumulated a total of 20 CPD points by the end of our network meetings.
