Wednesday 27 May 2026 | Eight years after GDPR came into force, data protection is entering a new phase. The EU is progressing its Digital Omnibus reforms, designed to simplify parts of GDPR and reduce administrative burdens while strengthening transparency and user rights. At the same time, enforcement has accelerated, with authorities issuing record fines, pursuing cross-border cases more quickly, and placing new attention on AI and automated decision-making.
In this anniversary webinar, we explored the biggest lessons from eight years of GDPR, the most significant enforcement actions, and what the future of global data protection will look like. We examined the real impact of the proposed Omnibus changes, the latest high-profile fines and judgments, and the growing regulatory pressure on AI, profiling and data-driven decision-making. The session outlined what organisations need to do to stay compliant, accountable and prepared for increased scrutiny.
