Balancing Privacy and the Public Interest

Posted on January 30, 2018 by Jean Eaton in Blog

The 2018 Congress is your opportunity to explore leading issues at the crossroads of privacy, access, security, law and technology. Network with peers and colleagues from industry and government to explore this year’s theme — The Road Ahead — Balancing Privacy and the Public Interest. Get a clearer view of how privacy, access, security, compliance, law and technology intersect, and why that matters to you, your career, and your organization.

The PACC Congress takes a refreshingly pragmatic approach.  We think it’s important to offer a truly varied assortment of perspectives and experiences — that offer practical guidance. Speakers from different locations, industries and organizations offer a range of views that are never the same-old, same-old.

The Congress is a unique professional development opportunity. Sessions are longer than at most conferences, and formal presentations are shorter — so that speakers have plenty of time to present their views, and delegates have time to ask questions and get real, unscripted answers. To accomplish that — and because the Congress is about quality, not quantity — registration is strictly limited.

What previous attendees say

Interesting, new speakers — not the same folks saying the same things over and over. Executive Director, Office of the Information & Privacy Commissioner of Ontario.

I thought your event was the best event I have been to in years. It really was a mixed bag of different approaches with the workshops, keynotes and panel discussions. I also thought it was very honest and open discussion of serious issues that we face with privacy and access. You had advocates for leveraging private information to create greater convenience for the consumer as well as privacy advocates for doing whatever you can to protect your private information. Project Manager, Service Alberta.
