SUMMARY:How to do Data Protection Training… and Keep Everyone Awake
DESCRIPTION:‘Data protection training’− perhaps not the favourite three words that staff like to hear from their DPOs\, yet it has to be done\, and if it’s going to be done\, it should be done well. Data protection training\, like any training\, doesn’t have to be dry\, procedural\, and pedantic. Let’s banish the word ‘boring’ and look at this differently. Data protection training can be lively\, stimulating\, surprising\, and even entertaining. \n\n\n\nUsing images\, practical examples\, and psychological learning techniques\, Fexco’s Jared Browne\, based on many years of teaching experience\, will give real-world advice on how to deliver data protection training powerfully and effectively. \n\n\n\nRegister Now

SUMMARY:The AI Revolution: what does it mean for DPOs?
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies are growing rapidly and exponentially\, and although they do not always process personal data\, when they do\, it is often on a vast scale and level of complexity. Allied to this\, organisations are moving fast to implement artificial intelligence solutions to achieve all manner of efficiencies and opportunities for revenue growth. The DPO has no choice but to keep pace; but technology will not wait. \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, William Fry’s Barry Scannell will guide DPOs through the maze and give the essential practical advice on how to prepare for this coming technology revolution.
