1st Annual Conference on the work of the Information Commissioner's Office in Scotland

Data Protection: Developing Good Practice in Scotland

Wednesday 24 June 2009 - Apex Waterloo Place Hotel, Edinburgh 

Keynote Speaker: Ken Macdonald, Assistant Commissioner (Scotland), Information Commissioner's Office

This is an essential conference for every organisation in Scotland who needs to be aware of the proposed financial penalties for failure to comply with data protection and data sharing legislation.

Data information gathering, data storing and data sharing is arguably the most important and sensitive issue facing businesses in the UK. Whether public or private sector, large or small, the Data Protection Act and associated legislation affects every organisation and failure to comply can lead to substantial fines under new statutory powers.

This conference will feature presentations and valuable updates from ICO speakers on:

• New data statutory powers
• Private impact assessments
• Code of conduct on privacy policy

The conference will also be addressed by representatives from a range of organisations who will stress the importance of the role of the Information Commissioner's Office in Scotland.
