The keynote stage for the IAPP Canada Privacy Symposium in May is all set. I gave out a hint on LinkedIn yesterday.

Sandwiched between keynote sessions will be a ton of breakout programming and, of course, the Dragon’s Den Commissioners’ game show.
Why am I using this space to highlight the Symposium? It’s because you have exactly one week left to register and take advantage of the early bird rate. Even if you’re not spending your own money, do the right thing and take advantage!

Speaking of that PIA, did you catch that the Office of the Privacy Commissioner released updated guidance on PIAs this past week? We have a little story about it below. Enjoy!
