After the first successful international conference held as part of the EU ARC- GDPR COMPLIANCE for SMEs in Rome, organized by my dear friends Luciano Versace and Luigi Montuori from The Italian Data Protection Authority, we in Croatian Data Protection Authority-Agencija za zaštitu osobnih podataka organized the equally successful second conference in Zagreb. Rome, culla di meraviglie, holds a special place in my heart. Every time I set foot in Rome, I feel like a Croatian from Dante's paradise (there isn't a single photo from Rome where I don't appear enthusiastic): "Qual è colui che forse di Croazia viene e veder la Veronica nostra, che per l’antica fama non si sazia!" However, at the conference in Zagreb, a similar sense of joy was evoked by my colleagues and friends from around the globe. Some of them came in Zagreb just for a half of the day to show their support for our efforts in assisting SMEs to comply with the GDPR and to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Croatian Data Protection Agency. A huge thanks to all who have contributed to spreading the core message: the right to data protection and the right to privacy are fundamental human rights that must be safeguarded, not overlooked for the sake of AI advancements! Technological progress and the protection of human rights can and should go hand in hand! Special thanks goes to the exceptional lineup of panelists: Isabelle Vereecken, Brendan Van Alsenoy, Limor Shmerling Magazanik, Martin De Moor Andries Küter, Matthias Schmidl, Marija Boskovic Batarelo, Dr. Natalija Parlov Una, Vlatka Vuković, Nikolina Staničić, Luigi Montuori Keynote speakers: Anu Talus, Wojciech Wiewiorowski, Zdravko Vukic,Guido Scorza, Elsa Marie Mein, Mirosław Wróblewski, Stephen R., Cong Yao, Matthias Schmidl, Ventsislav Karadjov, Krenare Sogojeva Dermaku
