Privacy & Data Protection

Testimonials and photos from the 4th Annual Data Protection Compliance Conference and Workshop Series
4th and 5th October 2005, London

This was my first Privacy and Data Protection Conference and I must say how impressed I was with the quality of speakers, from the opening through to the excellent workshops on day 2. I have rarely felt more energised by a conference and will definitely be back next year (and the year after...). If pushed, my highlight was the moment when The European Commissioner, Philippe Renaudière, gave us his thoughts on the Durant case, which was a major coup for the conference and P&DP. Many thanks for a tremendous conference and here's to next year

Thank you for a fabulous conference once again. Content has moved with the times and resonates with the issues we are facing in our business. All the speakers were interesting and informative. It was a particular treat to hear directly from (and have the chance to talk to) the policy-makers themselves
