Stop scratching your head – how the ICO can help you innovate with certainty
Many companies face challenges in pursuing innovation, such as limited resources and risk aversion. To empower responsible innovation, the ICO offers a range of services that provide early assured advice and support for businesses developing new models, products and services.
This session is aimed at organisations of any size looking to do something new or significantly adapted with personal data. It’s aimed at organisations who want an insight on how the ICO can offer regulatory certainty and bring down the burden or cost of compliance. We will provide an overview of the ICO's innovation services and explore examples of past engagements to showcase how we have assisted innovators to overcome challenges.

Good FOI practice – a panel discussion
At this session, hear from experienced ICO case handlers, policy staff and information access staff about what good FOI practice looks like. We want to help you handle FOI requests effectively, and to share some tips on how to improve your practice. The session will look at areas such as organisational culture and request-handling. It will also refer to some of the work our upstream team is doing to provide tools and assistance. The session is for public authority staff who may be relatively inexperienced in handling FOI requests, or who are unsure how to improve practice in their organisation.
