The National Security, Technology, and Law Working Group at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University is hosting a symposium on “The Next Wave of Surveillance Reform,” taking place on January 25 and 26, 2016, at the Hoover Institution in Stanford, CA.
The symposium will bring together surveillance and national security experts from government, the academy, the private sector, and the privacy community. Attendance will be limited to promote interaction among the participants. Presentations will focus on the next round of surveillance reform in the United States, with an emphasis on the coming debates in Congress about whether and how to renew authorities for 702 collection and whether and how Congress should regulate collection under Executive Order 12,333.
Following the symposium, Hoover will publish six major papers framing the debate over the next round of surveillance reform. The symposium will, among other things, help the authors to refine their arguments as to how Congress and the administration should proceed. Discussions will be off the record.
- Please note that this event is by invitation only -
