Breakfast with the Privacy Commissioner

Privacy breaches were one of the hot topics of 2012. Could you and your organisation find yourself at the eye of the next privacy media storm? Privacy Commissioner Marie Shroff will talk about lessons from the 2012 data breaches and the "annus horribilis" these made for ACC and MSD. She will give some pointers on privacy best practice for business and government, and how to avoid or mitigate breaches. 

Marie will also discuss new doors opening to the European market for NZ ICT businesses through recent EU clearance of our privacy law.

Includes full sit-down Breakfast from 7:30am. Speaker Begins 8:00am.
