I’m not in law, but it seems more like an online course trying to be sold to me than a real conference. There is a long list of company logos, a bunch of credits and certifications promised, and a large blob of customer testimonials.
I clicked the link. I usually don’t read LinkedIn, but I think the things that rub you (and me) the wrong way are simply how the LinkedIn power users communicate normally. Their bubble is not ours.
Seems to me that Luiza Jarovsky made a big step outside the Overton window (and a few replies called her out on that), which is as much as we could reasonably hope for. Mentioning the book as “important, although I disagree with the framing” is a huge improvement over the “low-status shit, don’t touch that” current status.
Thank you! You’ve managed to explain exactly what I thought when I saw this link. And re the LinkedIn comment—I’m actually surprised that people are surprised. I know people who post very high quality articles there, but mostly it’s become slop land. The pattern I’m noticing is: LinkedIn writers who value quality slowly transitioning to Substack, and those in their audiences that want to think moving with them.
It’s not a conference, it’s an online course and it’s one of the most popular among privacy professionals. The most popular being those offered by IAPP (International Association of Privacy Professionals). She’s legitimately that well regarded. I’d love to know where the disconnect is for you?
Although ironically, I was talking to my boyfriend about how people in law or compliance would have the same reaction (“what? This guy is important?”) if I said so about Zvi and just linked his Substack XD. I guess different impressions in different communities.

Did some quick googling and an actual conference would look like this. https://www.lsuite.co/techgc
I’m surprised this comment has so many upvotes. Did anyone actually click the link?
