ABOUT
For CPDP 2026, Avatar.fm is teaming up with Brussels based community radio station GIMIC to present a temporary radio broadcasting live during the conference days.
Giving a voice to the young and new generation of privacy, data protection, AI, and computer scientist heads, Avatar.fm amplifies stories and testimonials of students, junior researchers, artists and activists. The content is brought to you in different 15-30 minute conversational formats and other still unknown interactions.
You’re welcome to join us in conversations about the datafied world and AI related subjects, interwoven with live music sets by numerous GIMIC favourites live from the heart of CPDP. If you’re interested in being part of the Avatar.fm program, reach out to us: info@privacysalon.org
