It’s Go Time.
The GDPR is kicking in, Brexit is raising more questions than answers, and there’s no break from concerns like breaches and compliance management. In times like these, the Canada Privacy Symposium is the only place to go for solutions.
You’ll find breakout sessions that analyze policy changes, operational challenges, legal developments and more. Among the issues on the agenda are:
- Meeting the GDPR compliance deadline—and what to do after
- Adapting to new technologies like artificial intelligence
- Operationalizing privacy by design
- Using personal medical information to improve care outcomes
- Privacy’s impact on technical innovation
Keynote speakers—pioneering engineer Craig Nevill-Manning, Canadian privacy expert and author Michael Geist, and Canadian Privacy Commissioner Daniel Therrien—will put the big questions in perspective. And of course, the always-entertaining Commissioners’ Game Show makes its annual appearance.
Join us for all that plus outstanding networking in our expanded venue at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre and InterContinental Hotel—bigger for better access to your top-choice sessions.
Come to the Symposium and master the changes happening all around you. It’s go time.
