Why should I attend?

Meaningful connections between citizens and government can be strengthened by a commitment to openness, transparency and quality service. Access to information and privacy laws help public bodies (government institutions, local authorities) be more open and accountable while ensuring the protection of personal information held by those public bodies.

While technology has been a key enabler for service improvement across all levels of government, it also makes all public servants part of the inherent access and privacy challenges. Hence, a corresponding need exists to educate the public sector as a whole and enhance responsible practices. These practices can take shape through education, developed policies, and conferences like this.

The Office of the Saskatchewan Information & Privacy Commissioner is proud to host the inaugural Saskatchewan Access & Privacy Conference. Experienced access and privacy professionals will have the opportunity to hone their skills with challenging advanced topics, while those who are new to the field or encounter it less often can build a solid grounding in the fundamentals with comprehensive introductory sessions.

Drawing on a diverse range of expertise this event offers an exciting collection of both plenary and breakout sessions, aimed at enhancing your knowledge of, and honing your skills with, access & privacy issues.
