Let’s get down to the dirty business end of digital privacy. Your data might well be about you, but is it yours? To sort this out once and for all, we’ll bring a bunch of (mostly) great minds to debate and discuss hypotheticals around the claim: Who owns you (and your data)?

Oh, and once we’ve got that sorted, they’ll be VR games and other things to help us jump further into the digital world.

Panelists include Privacy Comissioner John Edwards, science & technology journalist Peter Griffin, Univeristy of Otago Manager of Copyright & Open Access Richard White and Associate Professor David Eyers of the University of Otago. The discussion will be moderated by Marcelo Rodriguez Ferrere from the University of Otago's Faculty of Law.

Light refreshments and a drink included in the ticket price.
