PETS is also looking for submissions along these lines, for example "Policy, law, and human rights relating to privacy ... Fielded systems ... Deployment models for privacy infrastructures", both from academia and industry. Historically PETS has not had much of this, since there haven't been many submissions and those that have been sent are often quite poor. PETS (and other conferences) do recognize the need for getting contributions from industry, but encouraging them is hard. @Eric Norman

While these technologies may be useful, please remember that <b>they are not the complete solution</b>. There's just as many important considerations in the area of organizational process and culture. For instance, questions about who "owns" which data and how are they or others allowed to use it. Folks like Stefan Brands might disagree. There’s one message I would like to see coming from folks who are working on privacy enhancing technologies.
