[Okfn-se] Fwd: Nordic friends of open data - welcome to MyData 2017 conference Aug 30 - Sep 1, 2017, in Tallinn & Helsinki!

Mon Aug 7 16:03:52 UTC 2017

Hej OKSE- & DFRI-listan!

Vill tipsa om denna konferens som kopplar an till både integritet och
öppna data. Rabattkod för biljett: MYDATANORDIC

OKSE hade en volontär där förra året som tyckte att det var mycket
intressant ang. mötet mellan integritet och öppenhet. Väldigt relevant i
koppling till integritetsutmaningar med nya GDPR.

Mvh,
Mattias

Dear Nordic open data friends,

I realize this is coming a bit late for some, but I’d like to take the
opportunity to invite you to the MyData 2017 conference
<http://www.mydata2017.org> in Tallinn and Helsinki Aug 30 - Sep 1.

*MyData 2017 is an international get-together for personal data
specialists.* The conference is a gathering for building ties, sharing
ideas, and spreading the word about human-centric personal data
principles and solutions. MyData 2017 is created and curated by experts
on privacy and data-driven applications.

This is super-relevant for the *data economy* that we are all dealing
with - as MyData is strongly linked with *open data, the new GDPR, smart
cities, smart governmen*t and other topics  . Last year we had 650+
people coming from 24 countries- now we would like to make a new record!
See below of the website www.mydata2017.org
<http://www.mydata2017.org>for further details.

To invite more nordic friends, we made a discount code: MYDATANORDIC

You can get 10% off the normal price - feel free to pass this code to
any interested parties.

In all cases, we sincerely hope you can make it to Tallinn and/or
Helsinki (30.8.-1.9.)

With kindest regards,

Teemu

Why:

Personal data is a *1 trillion USD business by 2020*. At the same time,
it's *one of the three issues Sir Tim Berners-Lee raised as key issues
for the future for the internet.* New EU general data protection
regulation affects all companies handling personal data and doing
business in the EU and will help harmonize markets. The MyData thinking
builds on top of GDPR, to encourage new business and disruption - in an
ethical way.

What:

This year's MyData 2017 conference will be from *Aug 30th to Sep 1st.*
MyData 2017 is an exciting *twin-city event (Helsinki, Finland +
Tallinn, Estonia)* with one workshop day in Tallinn and two main
conference days in Helsinki. As you know well, Finland and Estonia are
two countries collaborating closely in the development of digital
society on many levels and Estonia has been pushing many digital markets
& rights issues on an EU level - and holds the EU presidency during
H2/2017. The two-hour boat trip is part of the programme.

Who's there?

In general the partners as well as the conference participants were very
satisfied with MyData 2016, in the end we had nearly 700 participants,
from 24 countries. This year, we are targeting 800-1000 participants.
Registrations have been made from nearly 20 countries already. Based on
last year, we expect some 50-60% to be business delegates, and some
20-30% public sector - with some academia, non-profits and others to
round out the scene. It's important to get the wide range of
organisations involved! See
