Elizabeth Denham was announced as the new chair of the International Conference of Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners (ICDPPC) on 23 October 2018.

She said: "In the age of borderless data flows, there has never been a more important time for global coherence in data protection and privacy.

"My vision for the ICDPPC is to lead a ‘decade of global data protection’: a decade when data protection and privacy by design become fundamental to the digital economy, safeguarding democratic governance and ensuring protection for society’s vulnerable groups, including young people.

"The ICDPPC is a truly unique global forum, championing strong and independent authorities. Key to this is ensuring that authorities can share cutting edge policy and enforcement experience. I am keen to ensure that ICDPPC can continue to support its member authorities with experiences, strategies and best practice from around the world."
