Is your data strategy compliant with the new GDPR regulations coming into force in May 2018?
Held at the newly expanded Taurus premises, this morning seminar will provide an all-round view of the GDPR legislation and how it will impact your business.
Guest speaker Tom Chartres-Moore will cover:
Dispelling GDPR myths - what it means on a day to day basis
GDPR for IT strategists - how GDPR affects IT

A short workshop for SME business managers, after which you will understand the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and its commercial impact.
The GDPR represents a fundamental change in the market, and as any businessperson knows, change equals opportunity. So while we will look at the GDPR as a new compliance risk, we will also look at what market change the GDPR is trying to drive, how this impacts business and what opportunities it creates for those that see change as commercial opportunity.
