International data transfers are essential to companies of all sizes in all industries and contribute trillions to the global economy. President Biden’s Executive Order on [name of EO or summary here] marks a significant step toward strengthening those international data transfers – in particular, it brings Washington and Brussels closer to finalizing a new deal to send data across the Atlantic. That highly anticipated agreement will bolster privacy protections and provide much-needed clarity to thousands of American businesses spanning every sector of the economy that depend on transatlantic data transfers to operate, innovate, and grow.
What are the potential economic impacts of President Biden’s executive order? How will the new US-EU data transfer framework impact American businesses and their digital transformation? And what next steps are needed to get the agreement across the finish line?
Join BSA | The Software Alliance for a virtual conversation to address these questions with senior business leaders representing a variety of industries.
Fireside Chat featuring US Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo, European Commission Executive Vice-President Margrethe Vestager, and BSA President and CEO Victoria Espinel.
Panel Discussion featuring industry leaders from Adobe, IBM, Salesforce, and Workday.
