In today’s hyper-connected world, data is power, privacy is a right and trust is the currency of progress. As nations, businesses and communities grapple with the challenges of digital transformation, one truth stands clear: the future will belong to those who can protect, govern and leverage data responsibly.
PROTECT Sarawak 2026: International Conference on Data Privacy & Digital Trust is not just another event to embrace the digital age. It is a strategic global platform for leadership, collaboration and action, bringing together decision-makers and innovators who will shape how societies thrive in the connected world.
Set for 28–29 April 2026 with a 1-Day Masterclass on 30 April 2026 at The Waterfront Hotel, Kuching, Sarawak, the conference will unite more than 500 policymakers, regulators, C-suites, SMEs, startups, academics, NGOs, investors, and thought leaders from Malaysia, the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.
Unlike traditional IT showcases, PROTECT Sarawak 2026 will redefine the conversation: data privacy as a human right, digital trust as the foundation of governance and resilience as the bedrock of sustainable growth and competitiveness.
Road to PROTECT Sarawak 2026: Mini Roadshow Series
To build momentum, the Mini Roadshow Series (Nov 2025 – Feb 2026) will make two key stops:
These sessions are not just awareness campaigns. They are listening platforms, gathering challenges, insights and solutions directly from industry players, SMEs, regulators and communities. Curated repertoires from both cities will be compiled and tabled at the main conference, ensuring that the panels during PROTECT Sarawak 2026 address real issues on the ground: from data governance and breaches, privacy and AI ethics, to cross-border frameworks and sustainability.
This ensures that PROTECT Sarawak 2026 is not theory, but a collective movement grounded in real-world concerns and solutions.
