What’s in Store?
Join Georgine Anthony, a Privacy & Data Protection Specialist, for a session on Data & Business Resilience.
There is increasing digital risk and protecting your data is a cornerstone of business stability. We strip away the technical jargon to deliver a high-impact, 30-40 minute session on:
- GDPR Quick Wins: Practical steps to ensure compliance without the headache.
- Data Housekeeping: Simple habits to secure your reputation and your people.
- Strategic Decision-Making: Reframing data to make faster, more confident leadership choices.
The Connections Mixer Following the session and Q&A, we transition into the heart of the forum. The Connections Mixer is a relaxed, unstructured space to meet your peers. With no rigid timers or forced scripts, it is a fluid environment where you are free to explore new ideas, share experiences, and find your next partner at your own pace.
