Symposium 2022 Returned to Toronto to Help Attendees Find Privacy’s True North

Canada’s premier data privacy conference came back to Toronto with over 500 people attending in person. There was great energy and engagement in the building as people came from all over Canada to focus on the latest challenges and opportunities facing Canadian privacy and data protection professionals.

In his final Symposium keynote as Privacy Commissioner of Canada, Daniel Therrien shared his insights on the existing and proposed frameworks for federal Canadian privacy law as well as his thoughts on why the current state of privacy in Canada is so uncertain and the likelihood of having a new privacy reform bill this year.

Other Symposium sessions ranged from national policy questions and ground-level operational details to regulating artificial intelligence, avoiding privacy storms in the cloud and making sure privacy laws support and help grow our tech industry. It was a unique combination of practical learning, visionary ideas, unmatched educational and networking opportunities. Plus, the ever-popular Commissioners’ Game Show.
