‘WTF is GDPR?’ Event in Edinburgh
Is your business ready for GDPR in May 2018?
Spend some time with us to learn about how GDPR will affect your business.
As GDPR has affects on all areas of your business, we will have four speakers for the event from the worlds of IT, HR, Legal and Marketing who will share their knowledge with you on the day.
Cyber Essentials & GDPR Expert
The Government-backed Cyber Essentials accreditation provides a comprehensive set of guidelines that, when followed, provide the best outcome to reducing the risk to any business.
GDPR isn’t just for big businesses – a gym that offers a members’ loyalty scheme or a one-person chiropractor that asks patients to complete a wellbeing form will have to ensure that personal data is stored in line with the new regulations and not breach them.
Event Details
Wed 29 November 2017 from 5:00 pm– 8:00 pm GMT
The Glasshouse, 2 Greenside Place, Edinburgh EH1 3AA
Book your tickets
Registration with Tea, Coffee & nibbles will start from 5pm with the first presentation starting at 5.30pm. We expect the event to wrap up for 7.30pm – Just in time to head home for dinner.
