European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

https://about.gitlab.com/gdpr/ says

> The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European privacy law that is set to go into effect in May 2018. The GDPR replaces the Data Protection Directive that was put into place in 1995. Although it is a European law, it will impact any entity that does business in or offers services and goods to people in the European Union (EU), regardless of their location. It will also apply to any entity that collects and analyzes the data of EU residents or businesses.

Because CarpentryCon is planned to happen on 30 May - 1 June, 2018 I think that someone from the organising committee should investigate what need to be done to respect the new regulation.

Start by reviewing the GDPR information linked in the issue and the planned CarpentryCon dates. Determine and document the specific compliance actions required for the event, with a clear decision or follow-up plan as the completion criteria.
