Building on the success of last year, techUK’s Tech and Innovation programme are excited to return to London Tech Week with a new series of techUK Talks, a series of conversations with UK tech leaders exploring the key digital technologies that are transformational for the UK economy. #techUKtalks
Following the granting of data adequacy by the EU, the publication of the UK’s National Data Strategy and the upcoming appointment of a new Information Commissioner, ahead is a potential new, yet undefined, era for data governance in the UK. So, what could this future hold and where are the opportunities for the UK to position itself as a global pioneer in achieving a data governance system underpinned by solid principles and able to flex and evolve to maintain trust as new technologies emerge. Given the importance of data protection and privacy laws to building public trust and confidence, as well as the ongoing global debates over data governance, what are the challenges ahead that industry, government and all of us need to consider as this new era evolves.
As the UK begins to consider what a post Brexit future of data governance could and should look like, this techUK Talks session at London Tech Week will hear from leading data experts on what they see as important to get right and what could be the pitfalls ahead where the UK cannot afford to get this wrong.
Speakers Include:
- Richard Cumbley, TMT Partner and Global Head of TMT, Linklaters
- Clinton Hook, Director Data Governance, Experian
- Chaired by Sue Daley, Director tech & innovation, techUK
