About Avatar.fm
Live Radio Avatar.fm is a three-day live radio show taking place during the 19th edition of the Computers, Privacy & Data Protection (CPDP) conference in Brussels, organised by Privacy Salon in collaboration with Dublab Germany.

It amplifies stories and testimonials from students, interns, junior researchers, privacy activists, and others engaged with digital rights, data protection, and technology. Avatar.fm combines short talks, micro panel discussions, live concerts, DJ sets, and more.
