Why Should I Attend?
Access to information and privacy (ATIP) is an ever changing landscape, especially in a federal context. There are new issues popping up that affect this world almost daily. New orders, legislation, never seen before requests, an ever-increasing focus on government transparency, obscure privacy breaches and illegal activities etc. all make the life of an ATIP professional very interesting to say the least. But how does one keep up? Currently you probably don't...how can you, really? This workshop is geared towards identifying these current issues, measuring the impact on this community, and then exploring methodologies, techniques and solutions to help cope with this ever-changing landscape. Join Kris Klein to learn more about the latest developments in:
- Interpretations on what is and what is not personal information
- Interacting with the Commissioner's office - the latest on their powers and procedures
- Is there a hidden public interest override in the Access to Information Act?
- The issues that are most pressing to you...
You will also be given the opportunity to drive what issues this workshop explores. Upon registering you will be prompted to provide Kris with the issue(s) that are causing you the most grief or peak your interest the most. Kris will then ensure the most popular issues are identified, dissected, and hopefully clarified. Join your colleagues today in this highly informative and interactive workshop to ensure your landscape is easily traveled.
