This in-person conference focused on the future for data protection legislation and regulation in the UK.
It was an opportunity for key stakeholders and policymakers to examine prospects for the future shape of UK GDPR, and the implications for services, consumer interests, data protection and economic growth.
Delegates assessed the potential impact of proposed GDPR reforms on trade agreements and international relationships.
They also considered key issues for the use of data in scientific research, as well as how data policy can support innovation and the development of commercially successful products and services.
Further sessions looked at priorities for regulation, coordination with wider policy developments, and the future for regulatory roles, structures and accountability.
