Seminars group C
You can choose one seminar from each group to attend on conference day.
Delegates tell us they like the practical advice they get from ICO experts, external speakers and panellists.
No need to pre-book – you’ll get instructions on how to join during the conference. In the meantime, we’ve got information about each session to help you choose.
When machines decide: can we trust automated decision making?
Using recruitment as a key example, this panel session will explore the opportunities, risks and key considerations for organisations adopting automated decision-making (ADM).
After this session you will:
have an improved understanding of how data protection law applies to ADM and public perception of its use;
identify the opportunities and risks of procuring and adopting ADM; and
be equipped with the key considerations when procuring and adopting ADM, including in the context of legislative changes in the DUAA.
This session is targeted at people working in data protection and those involved or interested in the use of automated decision making. If your understanding of AI is entry-level, we recommend you attend our AI:the basics seminar first.
Mind Your Banners: The ICO’s approach to storage and access technologies.
The DUA Act has brought in changes to cookies and other storage and access technologies, such as the new exceptions for statistical purposes. This session will update you on these changes, provide an overview of our recent consultation on storage and access guidance and highlight our work to revise our approach to low-risk online ads.
This session is aimed at online service providers who run website, mobile apps and TV apps. It will also feature a Q&A.
Celebrating 20 years of FOI
A 'fireside chat' with Warren Seddon (ICO Director of Freedom of Information and Transparency) and former BBC journalist and FOI expert, Martin Rosenbaum.
This session is aimed at all DPPC attendees and will celebrate 20 years since the Freedom of Information Act and the Environmental Information Regulations were implemented. It will cover landmark decisions and their impact and reflections on what has been achieved over the last two decades and what the future of transparency may look like.
