DC Privacy Summit 2026

The DC Privacy Summit 2026 is a one-day, in-person summit on October 15, 2026, at the National Union Building in Washington, D.C. Organized by PGP for Crypto, a project of Electric Coin Co., the event examines how zero-knowledge proofs, digital identity, AI, and modern cybersecurity are reshaping the relationship between technology, citizens, and government. The program includes discussions on the legal and policy impact of cryptography, digital identity and age verification, and crypto policy, cybersecurity, and civil liberties, with a focus on communication between policymakers and technology practitioners.

The summit serves the crypto and Web3 industry at the intersection of privacy technology, public policy, and civil liberties. It brings together cryptographers, developers, legislators, regulators, and civil rights supporters. Attendees typically include people working across industry, academia, government, and civil society who want to understand how regulation could shape privacy-preserving technologies and how cryptographic tools can support safer, more private digital systems.
