"At both events, we will provide a near-real time discussion of the anticipated EU-U.S. safe harbor deal that we have reported may occur early next week. And given the pace of change in these arenas, privacy professionals will benefit from the guidance on those issues and trends that bear watching in the year ahead."
The Washington, D.C. event centers on risks and trends in the U.S. and Europe and will help attendees navigate the new compliance landscape. Speakers will highlight the significant data protection changes in the EU, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation, and the latest privacy and cybersecurity developments here in the United States such as the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act.
