On May 18-19, IBM hosted a major customer symposium on "Privacy in a Networked World: Demands, Technologies, and Opportunities." The forum focused on how Internet privacy is shaping international political and electronic commerce agendas, and on understanding the underlying technological considerations of deploying privacy policies on the Web.
