BACKGROUND:

Embedding robust Information Governance as an integral part of organisational strategy is vitally important in both the public and private sectors. The comparison has been made to using seatbelts in cars - we must change the culture and ensure that correct practices are embedded such that they become the default.

The expert presentations and case studies at this conference present an insider’s view of the challenges facing both public and private organisations and distil that collective experience into practical know-how on information governance - the future of data protection in a networked world.
