DC Privacy Summit 2026

The DC Privacy Summit 2026 is a one-day event on October 15, 2026, at the National Union Building in Washington, D.C. Organized by PGP for Crypto, a project of Electric Coin Co., it brings together cryptographers, developers, legislators, regulators, and civil rights supporters. The summit explores how zero-knowledge proofs, digital identity, AI, and modern cybersecurity are changing the relationship between technology, citizens, and government. It is an in-person event, not online.

The program covers the legal and policy impact of zero-knowledge proofs, the future of digital identity and age verification, and how AI is reshaping privacy, security, and online identity. Discussions also address crypto policy, cybersecurity, and civil liberties, with an emphasis on communication between policymakers and technology practitioners.
