It is time to build! Combined with Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs), the private internet is here. The ‘BUILD’ event series will bring together privacy technology and policy experts from publishers, advertising technology providers, and government regulators to discuss the development and application of new privacy-enhancing technologies, addressability solutions, and how to achieve compliance with government regulations based on Tech Lab’s compliance and audit frameworks.
We will specifically discuss:
The Tech Lab Future of Privacy events are an opportunity to dive deep into the technologies and solutions being developed for addressability, privacy and data security and to understand their application, benefits and limitations. They will also provide a window into the future with insights and demonstrations of the application of PETs to the most pressing use cases and how to understand the privacy-enhancing changes being deployed by the big technology platforms.
These events combine the content of several of our past events into one comprehensive privacy-centric day and include local content. This event series is in-person, only.

11:00 – 11:25 AM | The Role of the Cloud in Clean Rooms: A Fireside Chat with AWS’ Adam Solomon and Shamir Tanna
As clean rooms increase in popularity, many have identified opportunities for technical standards to streamline workflows within and across different clean room vendors. What problems might these new standards help solve, and for who? What use cases will they support? In this fireside discussion with Adam Solomon – WW Head of Data Collaboration & Interoperability within AWS Advertising and Marketing Technology group – we’ll explore the role that cloud infrastructure can play in addressing common interoperability pain points across clean room providers, and how a shared set of tools and technology primitives can free up resources for proprietary innovation and growth across the ecosystem. We’ll then be joined by AWS’ Sailesh Mohapatra – Sr. Product Manager for AWS Clean Rooms – who will guide the group through a demo of AWS’ recently released Clean Room product. Shailley Singh, EVP, Product & COO, IAB Tech Lab Adam Solomon, Global Head of Privacy-Enhanced Data Collaboration Solutions, Advertising & Marketing, Amazon Web Services Shamir Tanna, Sr. Product Manager, AWS Clean Rooms, Amazon Web Services |

For years, the industry has debated the merits of deterministic vs. probabilistic approaches to identity. However, the ultimate solution doesn’t have to come down to an “either-or” equation. The brightest future for the digital advertising ecosystem and consumers might be one that balances deterministic and probabilistic data in privacy-friendly ways. Join Drew Stein, CEO of data, identity, activation, and curation company Audigent, for a lively discussion on the future of behavioral data and why now is the time to break our industry’s addiction to deterministic data. Drew Stein, Founder & CEO, Audigent |

3:50 – 4:20 PM | Why PETS are Critical for Advertising: Estimating the Value of Offsite Data to Advertisers
We are all aware that data fuels personalized connections online, but as people have begun to spend more important parts of their lives online, they’re understandably asking questions about how data drives the personalized experiences they see. For advertisers this has resulted in product changes and privacy regulation that limit their ability to use data that is shared across applications. In this work we studied one of the most common ways advertisers use this “offsite” data and ran a large-scale study with hundreds of thousands of advertisers on Meta to understand the impact of the loss of offsite data. Our results suggest a substantial benefit of offsite data across a wide range of advertisers. As the industry develops new privacy-forward approaches for ad delivery, understanding what value they are trying to recover can help guide policy and product in this space. Robert Moakler, Quantitative Researcher, Meta |
4:20 – 4:50 PM | Trusted Execution Environments for Data Confidentiality
This talk will review the technical properties of TEEs that establish confidentiality for sensitive data and offer implementation patterns that can speed development for systems with high bars for privacy and security. TEEs will be compared with other technologies used to establish operator isolation such as Multi-Party Computation (MPC) or homomorphic encryption, and techniques to enable distributed trust will be reviewed.
