Data Privacy Legal Hack-A-thon
This is an unprecedented year documenting our loss of Privacy. Never
before have we needed to stand up and team up to do something about it.
In honour of Privacy Day, the Legal Hackers are leading the charge to do
something about it, inspiring a two-day international Data Privacy Legal
Hackathon.
This is no ordinary event. Instead of talking about creating privacy
tools in theory, the Data Privacy Legal Hackathon is about action! A
call to action for tech & legal innovators who want to make a difference!
Across three locations on February 8th & 9th, 2014
* New York City * London, UK
<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/data-privacy-london-legal-hack-a-thon-tickets-10168166259>*
Bay Area *

This two-day event aims to mix the tech and legal scenes with people and
companies that want to champion personal data privacy. Connecting
entrepreneurs, developers, product makers, legal scholars, lawyers, and
investors.
Each location will host a two-day judged hacking competition with a
prize awarding finale, followed by an after-party to celebrate the event.
The Main Themes to The Hackathon Are:
*
Crossing the Pond Hack
