Come
to this seminar to discover why these headline
grabbing data protection issues are becoming more
and more frequent.
Our
two expert Speakers will give a short
presentation on Data Protection, its
difficulties and implications.
We
will then throw their expertise and opinion open
to a "Question Time" session. We
hope that this will be a mix of questions given in
advance from audience participants, and adhoc
questions on the night as various themes develop.
Our expert speakers are:
