The Malta Information Technology Law Association (www.mitla.org.mt) is organising on information seminar entitled ‘Data Protection at a crossroads: re-inventing wheels or chasing windmills?’
The seminar will feature high-level international and local experts in the field of privacy and data protection and shall provide an update on the latest legislative proposals currently discussed as well as analyse the impact that the Proposed EU General Data Protection Regulation will have on current data protection and information practices.
The proposed new EU General Data Protection Regulation aims at bringing current data protection legislation in line with recent technological and social developments. But will the strengthening of concepts such as the right to be forgotten, data portability, privacy by design and privacy by default inhibit technological innovation? Are our businesses ready for this new privacy landscape where the data subject will take centre stage? Will the new Regulation succeed in raising our appreciation for data privacy?
The event will be held on the 1st of April 2015 at SmartCity Malta and starts at 1pm. A copy of the programme is hereby attached. The event is being supported by Microsoft.
More information about the event as well as booking information can be found at http://www.mitla.org.mt/conference. Spaces are limited so early booking is recommended.
