We just changed the location of the event: it will now be held in Portola Valley. The new location is about 15 minutes away from the old location in Palo Alto. We’ve fully confirmed the details so the address won’t change again.
If you want to attend please email me at willismattei@gmail.com and I will send you the exact address.

It’s 2019. Do you know where your personal data is right now?
@mark this is a very important event- thanks for posting. I’ll post as a separate topic to broadcast and reach more people.
Edit: See Data Privacy event San Francisco Bay Area 1/10 - Ashkan Soltani
Thanks! See you there?
@mark I’d love to… we’re a silicon commuting family from Marin with kiddo responsibilities so I can’t. I hear this group posts talks 2 weeks afterwards though.
I’ll try to remember to post it here if they send it round to attendees.
@mark I looked at the host’s website (which by the way they are an example of news that is wonderfully real and humane tech friendly) and they said they always post the a webcast link 2 week’s later on their website so between the 2 of us we’ll get it out to our community. Thanks again for posting- one of these seasons I’ll make it to an event!!
