A three-day congress in Paris on health data governance, the European Health Data Space and responsible AI, bringing together data protection officers, regulators, chief data officers and health providers around a dedicated AI and synthetic data track.
The European Health Data Protection Congress, known as EHDPC, is an annual congress on health data governance held in Paris. Now in its fourth edition, it is organised by the independent EHDPC body, which also publishes the Journal of Health Data Protection. The 2026 edition runs from 14 to 16 October at the Trocadero. The congress convenes data protection officers, regulators, chief data officers and providers around the implementation of the European Health Data Space and the responsible use of health data, with artificial intelligence and synthetic data as one of its core topic tracks.
EHDPC exists to work through how health data is governed, shared and protected in Europe. It is a policy and compliance congress rather than a product event, so its audience is the people accountable for lawful data use: data protection officers, legal and compliance leads, regulators and chief data officers. The AI and synthetic data track sits inside that frame, treating artificial intelligence as something to be governed rather than demonstrated, which is what distinguishes it from the product-led digital health conferences.
The programme is organised around several core topic tracks, including:
The congress runs across three days of sessions and includes a subscription to the Journal of Health Data Protection with registration. Its format is congress-led, weighted toward regulatory content and structured discussion rather than an exhibition.
The congress draws regulators, data protection officers and health data leaders from across Europe. A confirmed 2026 speaker roster is published through the official site.
A compliance and governance event. EHDPC is about how health data is protected and lawfully used, so its centre is data protection, the European Health Data Space and regulation, with AI treated as a governance question.
Artificial intelligence appears through a dedicated AI and synthetic data track, framed around innovating without losing control, alongside the congress's data protection and EHDS content.
The 2026 congress is held at the Trocadero in Paris.
EHDPC is an independent congress body focused on health data protection in Europe, and it publishes the Journal of Health Data Protection, a subscription to which is included with registration.
The European Health Data Protection Congress is the governance-side counterpart to Europe's digital health circuit, the event where the AI and synthetic data conversation is framed by data protection officers and the European Health Data Space rather than by product teams.
