We are pleased to announce that privacy activist and lawyer, Max Schrems, will be giving a keynote at this year’s conference!

He’s also the founder of NOYB, or My Privacy is “None of Your Business,” which is a privacy enforcement platform and NGO that raises awareness and brings to court data protection cases that don’t follow GDPR.
At the Nextcloud Conference, Max will be talking about the newly adopted Transatlantic Data Privacy Framework and why local hosting like Nextcloud is important. His talk is scheduled for Saturday, September 16th.
