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. ## What the European Health Data Protection Congress is for 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. ## Who attends the European Health Data Protection Congress - Data protection officers and privacy leads - Regulators and public health authorities - Chief data officers and health data governance teams - Pharmaceutical and provider compliance functions - Researchers working with health data ## What the European Health Data Protection Congress covers programmatically The programme is organised around several core topic tracks, including: - AI and synthetic data, framed as innovation without losing control - Implementation of the European Health Data Space - Secondary use of health data and cross-border data exchange - Data protection law and health data compliance ## Programme tracks and special formats 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. ## Notable participants 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. ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### Is this a technology event or a compliance event? 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. ### How does AI fit into the programme?
